About Us
A Bridge of Hope Since 2010
Smile Bridge Foundation was born from a simple belief: every child deserves the chance to smile, learn, and dream without limits.
Founded by Dr. Amina Reyes after witnessing the devastating effects of poverty on children, our organization began with a single after-school classroom in Austin, Texas. Today, we operate in over 120 communities across 15 countries, reaching more than 25,000 children annually.

Founder & CEOLeading with Purpose
"When I started Smile Bridge Foundation, I envisioned a world where no child would be left behind because of poverty, geography, or circumstance."
Over the past 15 years, that vision has grown into a global movement powered by compassionate donors, dedicated volunteers, and resilient communities. Every smile we see on a child's face reminds us why this work matters.
I invite you to join us — whether through donating, volunteering, or spreading the word — in building bridges of hope that last a lifetime.
