Sponsor a Child

Thank you for considering sponsorship at Happy House.

Your support creates something truly special — a family. By sponsoring a child, you offer love, stability, and a sense of belonging that can transform a life.

As a sponsor, you’ll receive a personal video and profile of your child, along with regular updates on their progress — from school achievements to personal milestones. You’re welcome to send them photos, messages, or even a short video whenever you like.

If you have children of your own, it’s a wonderful way to help them connect with a global friend. Even something as simple as sharing a drawing or a dance can build a beautiful bond.

This is your chance to be a lasting presence in a child’s life — and to join our global family built on care, compassion, and connection.

The suggested donation is just £20 a month, but any contribution is deeply appreciated. You can donate via Standing Order, PayPal, Card, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, or Google Pay.

Be Part of a Sponsor Family

Each child at Happy House has a ‘sponsor family,’ which includes up to four sponsors. This approach not only covers essential needs, such as nutritious food and school supplies, but also provides lasting stability. As a result, children experience the security of a dependable support network.

For children who have already faced tremendous loss, this family support network ensures a dependable foundation, even if one sponsor’s circumstances change.

Where it is safe and in a child’s best interests, we maintain and encourage links with any relatives they may have. For instance, we arrange visits and, should the family situation improve to allow for a child to be repatriated, we will make it happen. We continue to provide support for as long as it is needed. A child knows that they can always return – “Once a Happy House kid, always a Happy House kid.” When a child is repatriated, we inform sponsors and ensure they are matched with another Happy House child.
