Education
We believe education is the foundation for transformation. Through mentorship, workshops, and learning opportunities, we help young people develop the skills, curiosity, and confidence to become problem-solvers in their communities.
On December 30, 2022, the Early Smile Foundation, with the support of kind donors and dedicated medical professionals, reached out to some of the most vulnerable members of our community (young mothers and their newborns).
At the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (Child Health and Obstetric Units), we donated essential baby supplies to families who had so little. At the Mamprobi Polyclinic, we went a step further by covering the medical bills of young mothers who could not afford life-saving care. For some, this support meant the difference between despair and relief, giving them the space to recover, nurture their babies, and breathe again.
Our founder, Ms. Elizabeth Cornell Afrakomah Awuku, shared her birthday with these mothers and their little ones, finding joy in the faces of women who, for a moment, felt seen and supported. Among them was a fragile preterm baby, abandoned at Korle Bu. The nurses named him Bridget after his mother. Meeting him was both heartbreaking and hopeful this gave us a reminder of why our work matters.
This act of compassion offered not just material aid, but a renewed sense of dignity and hope. It is our prayer that these mothers and their babies continue to smile, grow in good health, and know that they are not alone.
