GNS ONLINE NEWS PORTAL

SRINAGAR OCT 07:-Smile Foundation, a community-focused NGO, today delivered urgent Marriage Assistance Kits to five sisters facing imminent wedding dates, offering immediate support to help their families prepare for the ceremonies. Led by Chairperson Masrat Jan and President Sajjad Ahmad Sholla, the organization stepped in to ease last-minute financial and material pressures and to ensure the weddings proceed with dignity and joy.

The assistance kits were provided after the foundation received urgent requests from families struggling to meet basic wedding needs. Each kit included essential household items, basic wedding apparel and accessories, and modest financial aid tailored to cover immediate expenses. The move is part of Smile Foundation’s emergency support efforts to address sudden needs among vulnerable households and to prevent crises that could disrupt important life events for women and families.

“Every wedding is more than a ceremony — it marks hope and a new start,” said President Sajjad Ahmad Sholla. “When families face unexpected hardships, we cannot wait. Our team worked quickly to assemble and distribute these kits so these sisters can begin their new lives with confidence and dignity.”

Chairperson Masrat Jan added that the organization aims to create lasting community impact by combining rapid-response aid with longer-term programs. “This intervention is a small but meaningful step toward promoting social stability and uplifting families in need. We will continue to identify urgent cases and mobilize resources to help where it matters most,” she said.

Smile Foundation’s intervention underscores the larger challenges many families face when unexpected expenses arise near major life events. By providing timely material support, the NGO helps reduce stress and financial strain on households, particularly those led by women or with limited income. The foundation plans to monitor the outcomes and remain in contact with the assisted families to explore further support opportunities, including skills training, livelihood support, and community partnerships.

This initiative aligns with Smile Foundation’s ongoing mission to deliver practical, compassionate aid across education, health, and social welfare projects. The organization invites community members and partners to support similar programs, whether through donations, in-kind contributions, or volunteer time, to help extend assistance to more families in urgent need.
