About us in Italy
Happydu Onlus, previously called Mammadù Italia Onlus, is a non-profit organisation founded in December 2010, following a volunteering experience made by two friends at an orphanage in Windhoek, Namibia. Coming in contact with that reality, the spontaneity and the smile of those children, changed their lives. On the day of departure, the children of the orphanage asked them to make a promise: not to abandon them. The organisation was founded from that promise and the new meaning that the two friends decided to give to their lives.
Since 2010, Happydu Onlus has been growing and can now rely on many partners and supporters who believe in our work and in our transparency. We are grateful to all for these wonderful results in support of the education of more than 700 children and teenagers!
On April 17, 2019 Mammadù Italia Onlus Assembly of Members, unanimously accepted the proposal of the Bord of Directors to amend the Statute and to change the name into HAPPYDU ONLUS. The choice of changing our name comes from an "evolutionary" path of our project model, in which we deeply believe (see the projects). The Board of Directors members are still the ones you all already know (Andrea, Monica, Federico, Daniela, Annalisa and Giulia), as weel as our beautiful logo.
Our Tax Code 03708150168 (important for 5xmille donation in Italy), our bank details/Iban (IT27H0306909606100000016558 - c/c at Bank Intesa Sanpaolo) as well as the registered and the operating offices remain unchanged. Our website instead changed to www.happydu.org, as as well as all the Board members’ personal email addresses, accordingly to the new domain.
So beware: ONLY the NAME changes, but WE ARE always US and everything remains exactly as you have known it and how we achieved it TOGETHER.
