Established in 1975, by the late Reverend Doctor Johana Mruka Mgoye, Happy Home works to serve the needs of orphaned children in the Muhoroni District of Kenya as well as providing a centre for support of the local community.
UK co-ordination of support for the ministry of Happy Home is led by Happy Home Kenya Trust, Charity Commission for England and Wales Registration Number 1101336.
Work has commenced for the relocation of Happy Home to a new permanent site at Kopere which shall be used to:
-
Re-house the children living in the decaying wood built Happy Home;
-
Allow Happy Home to increase the number of children it houses by 125%;
-
Provide extensive support for orphaned children living in the community; and
-
Supply a source of clean water to the whole community.
This is a major undertaking, for Happy Home and one for which it urgently needs your support and financial commitment if the children are to be re-housed in time for Christmas 2007.
Good quality education is a powerful investment in the future of any individual, community and country whether it be the UK or Kenya.
Happy Home aims to provide holistic and rounded approach to the education of the children in its care, covering:
-
Primary, Secondary & Tertiary education;
-
Vocational training; and
-
Job seeking.
The children of Happy Home have the same needs as children anywhere in the world but with no mum or a dad to provide for them.
They need clothes, food, books, toiletries and so forth. Their home needs to be maintained, staff paid and may be that small gift at Christmas.
