HAPPYDU VILLAGE
“HAPPYDU VILLAGE” was born with the aim of helping children, adolescents and single young mothers.
The first Happydu Village was inaugurated October 1, 2017 in Soweto-Katutura Windhoek, Namibia, and it currently welcomes about 100 children who, every week, are offered an annual training course through programs carried out in a kindergarten, during after-school activities and in a sports center.

The new phase of the project entails the creation of a second Happydu Village also dedicated to young single mothers living in the suburbs of the city, where sexual violence and alcohol abuse reach very high levels, with inevitable consequences on children and adolescents.
By helping these women through psychological support and professional laboratories, aimed at creating an assisted training course enabling them to build a better future, we do also help their children.
In fact, we have put a nursery school in place right next to the professional laboratory, welcoming these young women’s children in order to provide them with care, offering them a basic annual training program and activities aimed at cognitive and motor development.
The project was called “HAPPYDU VILLAGE”, as it aims to create a real "village", a place where teenagers from the local background may receive study assistance (after-school service) and get a space where to meet, play together, play sports, watch periodic movies and documentaries ,and keep as far as possible from the dangers of the road (in other words, and in respect of a principle of secularism, we want to export the concept of "oratory ", meant as a place of aggregation, study and training for minors).
Finally, within the "village" we also intend to build a small first aid clinic, services for the elderly of the community (the elderly remain one of the weakest social categories, together with women and minors) and, over time, develop a pre-school, a school that prepares children who have attended kindergarten at compulsory school.
