How a Free License Helped Us Tell Our Story to the World

A testimony of impact, transparency, and gratitude

Smiles for Children β€’ International NGO

Our Mission

We are Smiles for Children, a small humanitarian organization working in rural communities across Southeast Asia and West Africa. For the past 12 years, we've been building schools, providing clean water, and bringing healthcare to children who need it most.

Every mission we undertake is documented through photography. Not for usβ€”but for our donors, for transparency, and for the children whose stories deserve to be told with dignity.

Our Challenge

We had over 40,000 photos from our field missions. Photos of smiling children at new schools. Wells being built. Medical camps saving lives.

But we had a problem.

  • Our budget was tight. Every dollar goes to the field, not to software.
  • We couldn't afford monthly subscriptions for photo management.
  • Cloud services felt unsafe for our beneficiaries' photos.
  • Our volunteers struggled to organize thousands of files manually.
  • Donors asked: "Can you show us where exactly our funds went?"

The Discovery That Changed Everything

One of our volunteers, Sarah, found PhotoGlobe Sorter online. She read about something called the "Solidarity License".

She sent us this message:

"There's a company that gives free lifetime licenses to NGOs. For every license someone buys, they donate one to organizations like us. It's called AlbumForge. Should we apply?"

We didn't believe it at first. Free professional software? For life? No strings attached?

We Applied. We Received.

Within 48 hours, we received our Solidarity License.

$0

Zero cost. Full features. Forever.

Someone, somewhere, bought a license. And because of their purchase, we received ours for free. We don't know who they are, but we're grateful every single day.
