Our Impact
Twenty Years of Partnership. Thousands of Lives Impacted.
Impact By The Numbers
For nearly two decades, America Developing Smiles has worked alongside Colegio María Auxiliadora to strengthen educational opportunities and improve the lives of students and families.
The impact of ADS is measured not only in facilities constructed or programs funded, but in the thousands of lives touched through education, mentorship, creativity and community support.
A Legacy of Stewardship
The continued support of individual donors, foundations, corporate sponsors, volunteers and community partners has made this work possible.
The story of ADS is ultimately a story of partnership, commitment and shared belief in the transformative power of education.
