According to Mr Impact, he said PSA started nine years ago when he discovered his unflinching zest to build a future where the child from the street and less privileged folks has a vision equal to the dream of the child of affluence and stands equal chance of attainment.

From that moment Project Smile Again had visited schools, hospitals, streets, churches, orphanages and many other locations across Benin, Lagos, Lokoja, and Abuja putting smiles on the faces of the indigents and children of poorest of the poor in the society.
