Project Description
Happy child project is to rescues street and ‘at risk’ children. Providing a 24 hour emergency centre, safe homes and a farm community which provide a secure base for their rehabilitation and re-integration back in to families and communities.
We aim to meet the immediate needs of street children by supporting their families and communities. In this way we are targeting the key issues which drive children on to the streets in the first place by Prevention, Rescue, Homes and Rehabilitation, Education and Training, Family – Re-integration, Fostering and Adoption.
Our vision is to build a “child safe home”. We work towards this by developing and implementing policies and procedures, to the best of our ability, to ensure the respect and wellbeing of children who come into contact with our organisation. The implementation of this policy and the guidelines outlined in our child protection policy is based on a spirit of positive commitment at all times to the best interests of the child.
Hope and Service to Mankind Foundation aim to develop in children the knowledge, skills, attitudes and concepts in key learning areas by providing learning experiences that are appropriate to a child’s age, learning readiness, stage of development and level of maturity.
We aim to foster a warm, caring and safe learning environment that stimulates curiosity, fairness and respect for others. We want to develop each child’s ability to effectively communicate in the language of instruction (English) while respecting the importance of the child’s home language.
Our duty is to Involve, inform and instruct parents in all aspects of child’s education and to Explore possibilities for re-establishing connection with their family, Fostering or adoption for their better future.
Hope and Service to Mankind Foundation offers a proactive, musical and theatrical approach to empowering children and making us all aware that there is more to a person's character than what we see on the outside. It's a program that opens doors to understanding through inspirational songs, peer-to-peer influence and collaboration to resolve challenging issues and help create a better world for everyone. It’s a musical that was inspired and created.
We tour communities with our performances throughout the country every year, followed by a series of shows. The community performances are free and open to the general public but it is aim at raising funds for our happy children projects.
The cast is made up of ordinary children from our happy children homes, who’ve embraced this extraordinary responsibility to bring their own truths (and often their pain) to the surface through their characters on stage, all for the benefit of other children. They’ve devoted an incredible amount of time to the project and we’d like you to join us thanking them all with a special gifts, donations and etc.
