The Happy Africa Foundation works to implement long-term, positive change in the lives of individuals, families and communities in Africa. Our commitment to ‘Educate, Enrich and Empower' points to our three main areas of focus: Education and Enrichment, Health and Nutrition and Empowering Families. We recognise the importance of identifying and fully understanding the unique needs of each community in order to effectively and sustainably address them. To this end, we limit our reach to a smaller number of communities, enabling us to concentrate our efforts on building trust, nurturing lasting relationships and ensuring the sustainability of our involvement in each community. The communities we work with often lack access to education, health services, nutritious food or safe places to play. Without these basic necessities it is difficult for individuals and families to feel empowered or to better themselves. Making a meaningful impact in these communities can take the form of providing access to education and health services, improving nutrition or creating a safe environment where children can play and learn.
