Who We Are
America Smiles grew from a local mission called Westport Smiles, founded by 11-year-old twins Lisette and Leonie Kalra.
The loneliness epidemic is everywhere, and we wanted to help fight it in a sweet, simple way: with AI-powered kindness. Our mission is to help everyone—from kids to seniors—break down barriers through small acts of kindness.
Here is how it works: just snap a photo of an everyday object, like a coffee mug or a stack of books! Our friendly AI guide, Professor Juju, will turn that photo into a fun, unique kindness idea for you to try in your neighborhood.
It is about so much more than just breaking the ice. It is about building a kinder neighborhood, one smile at a time.
We can't wait for you to try it, share a smile, and help us bring people closer together!
