BRIDGING GAPS, BUILDING FUTURES

Consultancy

We offer tailored consultancy services to a diverse range of clients in developing countries - be it organizations, individual entrepreneurs, governments, or companies aiming to make strides towards a better world.

At Smile Again, we address the growing challenge of surplus second-hand clothing in Europe by focusing on quality reuse. From trusted partners in the Netherlands, we carefully select garments that are clean, wearable and suitable for a second life.

These selected items are sent to Senegal, where they are sorted and prepared into women’s clothing bales by local teams. The clothing is sold at affordable prices, helping reduce textile waste while creating local jobs, especially for women.
