About us
Happydu Children Charity Organisation was founded thanks to the combined efforts of two charitable organizations based in Italy:
Mammadù Italia Onlus and Little Treehouse Onlus.
Mammadù Italia Onlus is a non-profit Association founded in December 2010, after a volunteering experience of two friends in a Place of Safety in Windhoek, Namibia. That reality, its children’s spontaneity and smile changed the two friends’ lives, forever.
The day of their departure the children asked them to make a promise: not to abandon them. "Thanks to that promise and to the new meaning the two friends decided to give to their own lives, Mammadù Italia Onlus became a reality". From 2010 to date Mammadù Italia Onlus has been providing aid to more than 500 children in Namibia, who are generally living in orphanages and kindergartens in the suburbs of Windhoek and other regions of the Country (Swakopmund, Andara, Oshana, Groot Aub). www.mammaduitalia.it.
Little Treehouse Onlus is a non-profit organization founded thanks to the initiative of two friends, who decided in 2013 to be volunteers for Mammadù Italia Onlus. Once back to Italy, the two friends felt deeply touched by the experience in Namibia; therefore, they decided to found Little Treehouse Onlus non-profit organization in order to help out there. Little Treehouse Onlus cooperates and shares projects with Mammadù Italia Onlus. The two organizations work with a common purpose and closely cooperate in favor of many vulnerable children in Namibia. www.littletreehouse.org.
Type of aid granted (2010 – 2017)
After many years close to vulnerable and orphan children, we decided to do something more:
GIVE ALL CHILDREN THE RIGHT TO GROW UP WITH THEIR MOTHERS' LOVE WITH Happydu!
