What we do

Happy Child’s Longer Term Care Homes for Street Children and Children at Risk

Happy Child has five long term care homes for street children and children at risk. We look after as many as 12 children at a time in each home.

 

The children in Happy Child have come from very abusive backgrounds where they have been neglected or abandoned. Their self esteem and sense of value has been totally destroyed. Happy Child’s goals are to work for the full and complete restoration of all  the children we have with us.

 

The homes we provide for them intend to model normal family life and are run by a dedicated staff team. The children are encouraged to help around the house, build up relationships with each other and generally participate in a range of different activities including art, crafts, cooking, and regular discipleship classes.

 

We provide four meals a day for them, register them in local schools, support them with their homework and encourage them to get involved in activities outside the homes.

 

Not every child is able to return to his family of origin and it may take some time to find new homes and families for our children.
