Lilian's story 

I was born and raised in Uganda, in a single parent household, the 8th child in a family of 11 children. Since my mother never got a chance to go to school, after losing our father when we were still young, she worked hard to make sure we have a good future; but because we were many, we grew up in an environment of poverty and hardships.

Big Dreams

My dream was to start an orphanage home in future so that I can give some help to people who are going through the same situations I went through and suffering just like the way I was. 

one day I had a dream when the voice called me by name in the middle of the night and told me to start up an orphanage, I cried because I didn't have the money and resources to start an orphanage but by Gods grace he worked everything out for me until everything was as I wanted 

 Words of Hope

I want to encourage all the single mothers that you can make it; if you only set a goal, focused and with a lot of determination.
You can make it if you don't look back to the past, but put all your trust in God. My mother made it, and I believe you can do the same if you believe in yourselves.

 Smiling World Ministries is a non-governmental organization in Uganda founded in February 2013 by Mrs. Lilian Kather. The organization is operating in Uganda with Headquarters in Kampala, but we will be moving to other different Nations of the World. It is registered under the Non- Governmental Organization Act, Cap.113 of the Republic of Uganda and the Certificate of registration and Incorporation number is 10556. Its aim is to give support to the disadvantaged people by equipping them with skills and knowledge of making and having products of their hands which can help them defeat poverty.

Our Mission:

To provide, attain and improve the standards of living of the people of Uganda and other parts of the World through equipping them with skills and support of the disadvantaged women, widows, Elderly people, with special support of orphaned children, by providing food, shelter, education, health care, and other family life values so that everyone will become a responsible person and productive citizen.

Our Vision:

Transformation through knowledge and skills, for improved standards of living in a world without struggling, to give a bright future to those that are forgotten. 

Our Challenges:

For the time we have been in operation and the few districts in Uganda, we have realized that 96% of the widows and Elderly people are really suffering, they need serious immediate attention which sometimes the organization cannot offer immediately due to insufficient funds. Also, things like transportation of voluntary workers (Trainers) to the people who need help are still hard.
