What is Send A Smile?
Send A Smile is the fundraising movement and tagline behind Xend A Smile, available at xendasmile.com. Xend A Smile and Send A Smile are the same platform. When you Send A Smile, you donate to a campaign that helps someone across Africa through a difficult moment — a medical emergency, school fees, a funeral, a community project.
Xend A Smile is Africa's most transparent crowdfunding and fundraising platform. Every donation is recorded publicly. Every withdrawal is explained publicly on the Transparency Ledger before the money is released. Donors always know exactly where their money went.
Send A Smile was built by JennsForge Limited, founded by Miracle Jenner, and based in Accra, Ghana. The platform serves Ghana (Phase 1), Nigeria (Phase 2), Kenya (Phase 3), and the African diaspora worldwide.
