Sangita Mehra shares her narrative spreading smiles among street children in India. Equipped with a motherly love and a passion to make a difference, she reminds us that no act is too small to create a big impact in the life of others.
Sangita Mehra gave up her successful business as a fashion designer to dedicate all her time to ‘Spread A Smile – India’. An initiative of Mehrasons Jewellers Charitable Trust. Sangita co-founded the initiative in 2005, with her son, Aashray, as a vehicle to help the children living and begging in the streets of New Delhi.
Lacking any mentorship, these children are propelled into the worlds of thievery, drugs and violence, which Sangita aims to rectify by introducing a much-needed maternal love into their lives. At Spread a Smile – India, she creates the environment of an extended family to motivate the children find purpose in their lives.
Sangita also aims to empower the children with their rights against abuse and holds workshops to equip them for a healthy and secure future. She is in the process of setting up a vocational centre aimed at helping women and children to pursue careers, breaking out of the poverty cycle.
