What’s the One Million Smiles Program?
One Million Smiles is a heartwarming initiative by Smiles Mobile Remittance, Japan’s most popular money transfer service. In 2021, after Smiles received requests from Filipino customers, we launched this program to support underprivileged families in the Philippines.
In the inaugural year, we teamed up with 100 Smiles customers to deliver holiday food packages (ayuda) to 100 needy families during 100 days of Christmas, making a significant impact.
The overwhelming success in 2021 led to a repeat in 2022, and it’s clear that the One Million Smiles Program is here to stay as an annual tradition, bringing smiles and relief to those in need.

How did One Million Smiles start?
“It is with wholehearted commitment of Smiles…together with all Smilers that we distribute Ayuda to those families who are in dire need. Not a single day, not a single minute has been wasted just to realize this vision.”
