Sometimes, all it takes is a simple thought to start an initiative. Nitin Jain was only 22 years old when he decided to celebrate Republic Day in 2019 with underprivileged kids living in the slums of Sonipat. That one meeting- filled with smiles, stories, and the harsh realities of their lives-stirred something deep within him. He realised these children deserved more than just a single day of joy; they needed opportunities, education, and hope. That's when Nitin took the plunge to transform the lives of these children by teaching them. What began as a small effort to prepare a handful of children outside their slums has now transformed into a big movement, dedicated to changing lives in Sonipat.
In this heartfelt interview, Nitin Jain, the Founder of Spread Smile Foundation, shares his journey, the challenges he faced, and the incredible milestones his organisation has achieved.
What was the thought process behind establishing the Spread Smile Foundation?
I started the Spread Smile Foundation in Sonipat in January 2019. Back then, I just knew I wanted to do something impactful, though I had no idea what or how to start. During one of my visits to the local slum areas, I saw children begging, collecting garbage, and working as labourers.
On Republic Day in 2019, my cousin and I decided to spend time with these children. That day changed my perspective. I saw how they were living—one side of the area had posh houses, while the other had slums with around 50 families. I became deeply emotional and felt compelled to act. At that moment, I decided to start teaching these children.
