Happy Kids is an NGO, school and orphanage that provides housing and schooling for orphans and underprivileged children in the rural region of Wegbe, Ghana. Due to a lack of resources and funds, the 108 children at Happy Kids are often hungry and attend a school without access to basic resources such as pencils, books, desks, paper and even a roof. Despite being the region's most struggling facility, the children at Happy Kids are among the happiest, most hopeful group of dreamers you will ever meet. They are smart, determined, and consider the orphanage to be their home and their friends to be brothers and sisters.

Through continually improved infrastructure, innovative programming, education and skills training, we aim to transform Happy Kids into a model facility where the children can thrive. In order to do this, we need your help.
