Smiley Children Society Expands Its Mission: Advocates for Child and Maternal HealthWednesday, March 19, 2025
Andhra Pradesh, India – The Smiley Children Society, a non-profit organization focused on child welfare and social betterment, has expanded its maternal and child health initiatives in Andhra Pradesh. The organization, founded by Prudhvi Moses, recently launched a campaign to provide healthcare screenings, nutrition education, and maternal health awareness programs in rural communities.
Free Healthcare Initiatives for Mothers and Children
In collaboration with local hospitals and government agencies, Smiley Children Society has conducted free medical check-ups and awareness drives for underprivileged mothers and children.
Dr. Kanakamahalakshmi, a gynecologist involved in the project, stated:
 | “Many women in rural areas do not have access to basic healthcare. Through this initiative, we are providing life-saving screenings and preventive care to help women detect medical issues early.” |  |
