The LITTLE SMILE Initiative
In 1999, television journalist Michael Kreitmeir launched the LITTLE SMILE project in the mountains of Sri Lanka for neglected and traumatised children and war orphans. It provides the children with a loving home and gives them prospects for the future by helping them to help themselves. Several projects have already been realised with donations: These include a pepper and rose plantation, a sewing school, a carpentry workshop and an Ayurveda training centre.
We buy organic pepper from the LITTLE SMILE spice plantation at far higher prices than the usual market conditions demand. In this way, we support the long-term continuation of the projects of the energetic initiator Michael Kreitmeir. We know Mr Kreitmeir personally after working with him for many years. We have already been able to gain a detailed impression of his conscientious handling of donations, his commitment and his convincing assertiveness.
