On Saturday, March 1, 2025, For A Smile’s Sake conducted a book donation drive at Mukumu Children’s Home under the Yada (Knowledge) Initiative.
The project was driven by the belief that empowerment is rooted in knowledge. The objective was to expand the children’s horizons, strengthen their faith, and encourage personal development by providing access to a diverse range of books.
The donation included Christian literature, self-help books, and other inspirational materials, aiming to equip the children with both spiritual and intellectual tools to help them grow into confident, empowered individuals.
Personnel Input
