Smiles Africa is a non-profit organization (registered in Cameroon with registration number 378/2018/DR/C19. ) dedicated to addressing the needs of widows, orphans, and the less privileged across Africa. Founded on March 1, 2019 by Zita Tibeme Ouanzie, we create pathways from vulnerability to self-reliance. To empower vulnerable individuals and young people across Africa with the skills, opportunities, mentorship, and resources they need to become self-reliant, build sustainable livelihoods, and create lasting change in their communities.
