MUMBAI SMILES

Mumbai Smiles is an NGO, founded in 2005 by the journalist and writer, Jaume Sanllorente, which focuses its action on the peaceful fight against poverty and for Human Rights in some of the most deprived areas of Asia such as India, Bangladesh and Nepal... Mumbai Smiles was founded in 2005 by the journalist and writer Jaume Sanllorente, after learning, on a holiday, the situation of an orphanage in Mumbai with serious financial problems. The closure of the orphanage would have forced more than 40 boys and girls to live on street with the certainty of them ending up as victims of Human trafficking and exploitation networks... Mumbai Smiles also works in Nepal and Bangladesh, countries that share a border with India and are points of origin for many of the victims of human trafficking, who end up being exploited in Mumbai and other Indian cities. From these countries we work to prevent and avoid trafficking, raising awareness in communities and strengthening the most vulnerable people,..
