Happy Birthday to Sharing a Smile!! 🩵
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.
Thank you for your ongoing Support!
It is only thanks to you that we can keep doing what we’re doing. The support we’ve received for our mission is unbelieveable and we are beyond greateful!
Save the date(s)!
With summer at soon approaching its end, our last and most famous event:

A look back at our annual Sharing a Mile – The 5th Edition
On Saturday the 20th of September 2025, at 11am sharp over 75 runners gathered in the Parc Ban de Gasperich, a brand new Parc in the City of Luxembourg to take part in our annual Sharing a Mile. The event was a great succes and we were very happy to welcome so many runners, and visitors to spend time together for a good cause. The proceeds collected during every Sharing a Mile, go straight towards supporting children in Nepal, fully supporting their education.
Thank you to all Participants having joined us this year, we look forward to welcome you next year!
All funds are being used to support young dedicated students from Samaanta Foundation during their studies
