It was an immense joy and privilege to help thousands of incredibly resilient families recover from the effects of last year's drought.

Happy Hearts facilitators were among the first to respond with providing means for emergency care, such as medical treatment, as well as emotional support.

Currently only 17% of Somali children go to school and the majority are boys. Happy Hearts is helping to reverse this trend by giving girls their power back by sponsoring their education.

We have provided our first science lab, enabling the students of a school in Mogadishu to have a hands-on learning experience of the world around them.

Nur joined a militia group at the age of ten. Growing up in Somalia, he cannot recall a time without conflict.

You were built for family. At Happy Hearts, children can return to the place they were created to live from and begin to thrive again.

“Bubbles in war zones...” this phrase coined by our founder Ania, embodies the essence of Happy Hearts. We want to build the first public playground in Somalia.
