& Development
For 30 years Happy Child International has been helping vulnerable children and young people from some of the most violent and marginalised communities in Brazil. Our vision is to ensure that every child and young person reaches his or her full potential and to foster immediate and lasting change in their lives.
Brazil still faces high levels of unemployment, difficulty for families to find work and limited access to health, education and protection services to mitigate harm from rising violence. Working with local partners and through a community based preventative approach Happy Child is enabling the delivery of medical outreach, family support and the provision of food baskets to the most vulnerable. Millions of people are suffering from food insecurity in the North East of Brazil. We are also helping vulnerable children and young people to receive education and training.
