Visit or Volunteer

We love welcoming visitors to see our work in action. Our home is built on love, belonging, and the belief that every child deserves to feel valued, safe and joyful. Whether you’re visiting briefly or staying longer as a volunteer, your presence truly matters.

To ensure visits support the children’s routine and allow our staff to do their work, all visits must be pre-arranged. visiting hours are: 

  • Monday – Friday: 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM / 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM

  • Saturday: 09:00 AM – 1:00 PM

We encourage visitors to join us for Kids Club on Saturday mornings – a weekly highlight where we come together as a family to reflect on the week, celebrate achievements, and enjoy the children’s talents through singing and dancing.

We welcome many kinds of visitors including:

  • Short-term Visitors: Tourists, sponsors, or friends of the home joining us for a few hours or a couple of days.
  • Volunteers: Those staying for a longer period (minimum of one month) and joining us daily in our work with the children.
 
We encourage you to read our full visitor guidelines for more detailed information.

Thinking of Volunteering with us?

We welcome volunteers who bring their talents, kindness, and energy to support Happy House. Volunteering is a big commitment, and we ask for a minimum one month to make a real difference. If you cannot commit to this, we suggest arranging some short-term visits.

As a volunteer, you are joining our family to work alongside us for the benefit of our children. Volunteers are expected to fully comply with Happy House policies and procedures and therefore must meet our safer recruitment requirements.

As part of the application, you’ll share your skills and interests so we can create a flexible timetable together. Typically, volunteers attend 09:00 AM – 03:00 PM, Monday –  Saturday.

Donations & Gifts

We treasure the gift of your time when you visit us. Many friends also ask how else they can help:

Sponsor a Child
Sponsorship covers the costs of care and gives each child the security of knowing someone is cheering them on. Sponsors often tell us they feel just as blessed as the children do.

Bringing Gifts or Donations
If you’d like to bring something, please contact us first so we can share what the children need most at that time. To keep things fair, all gifts and donations are received by our Director or Administrator and shared with the whole family. Donations can be made via our donation page.

Thank you for helping us create a home full of love and joy. We can’t wait to welcome you!
