6 years ago, a group of motivated students embarked on an adventure and brought their own non-profit to life. Sharing a Smile was established in 2020 with the aim of enabling young Nepalis a better future. As we celebrate our 6th annniversary, let’s take a walk down memory lane and celebrate the impact we have had together!

Our first step on memory lane are our very first fundraising events we’ve hosted in our schoolyard:

• Homemade Kniddelen

• Sports for our peers at school

Of course, we did not miss out on the proximity of the beautiful city of Luxembourg where we sold cake and our very own merch. Beyond that, numerous companies and cafés supported us with donations from the very beginning. Thanks to all!

Up to this day, we are still very proud to have been awarded the “Prix du Mérite Jeunesse” in 2020. What an eventful year it has been.

Together, we’ve grown and dared more and more. We’re so proud to have recurring events with our local partners in Luxembourg, such as:

• The yoga sessions at Villa Vauban and House of Om.

• Our online Christmas fundraiser and merch collections who truly make a difference.

• Our biggest event: The Sharing A Mile.

These events and seeind that people keep showing up to support our mission means a great deal to us. Here’s what we’ve achieved through your generosity. 

We have also traveled to Nepal several times, strengthening our connection with the communities we support and gaining a richer understanding of the local context.

What started as a small project during our shared school years has evolved into a well-established team structure, working together from across Europe. Sharing a Smile truly grew up with us as we’ve transitioned from high school to university and lived through major milestones together.

What hasn’t changed, however, is the importance our mission: enabling the same chances that we’ve had to underprivileged youth. For the past 6 years, we’ve been working with dedication and passion to promote educational security for young people in Nepal. As a team, we have learned a lot, grown through challenges and realised that it is truly worthwhile to work together toward a more just world.

With summer at our doorstep we are excited to see you at one of our events:

• New this year: The Sharing a Smile Padel tournament on the 13th of June 2026 at Tennis Club Bonnevoie. (Tickets available soon!!)

• Our Garden Yoga Sessions at Villa Vauban will return on the 4th of July 2026.

• Our beloved charity run, the Sharing a Mile will take place on the 12th of September 2026 at Parc Ban de Gasperich.
