Our signature project, helps kids
Care4kids was the first signature project created by SIML in the fall of 2008. The project aims to promote improved self-image and school performance by ensuring that children at the youngest grade levels are given tools needed to help them be successful. By providing some basic necessities the children are then able to concentrate on their school work and have an improved self-image.
