Happy Kids Center

Happy Kids Center Our Vision
At Happy Kids Center we believe that every child should have the opportunity to succeed, regardless of caste or upbringing.

Through local connections we aim to provide children with a community that supports them in the pursuit of their dreams. The Happy Kids Center was opened on October 14, 2015 in Bhelukhel, Bhaktapur in response to the earthquake that toppled much of this historic city. It all started with a small group of aid workers who quickly fell in love with the city and all of the beautiful people they worked

among. Their hearts broke upon seeing children in the street, begging for rice and water for their families. As they got to know these children they quickly recognized they were not living the life of children at all, instead of playing or going to school, they were bearing the weight of providing for their families; simply surviving. The volunteers decided they wanted to give these children something more sustainable than charity, they wanted to give them a future. Thus, the Happy Kids Center was born. We opened our doors with the goal of providing a safe space for children whose lives were devastated by the earthquake. The Center was designed to give these children a happy, safe environment that encouraged and supported them through education and creative play. After nearly two years of success we have seen our Happy Kids grow and flourish in ways we never could have dreamed. Now our goal is shifting as we too expand as an organization. While we will always treat the Happy Kids Center as a safe space first and foremost, we are now on a mission to help provide a future for these kids that is better than the generations before. Through partnerships with community businesses and non-government organizations we are now working towards providing vocational skills and workshops to empower and enable these children to pursue the career of their dreams.

This photo was taken on an HKC field trip in 2017. One of our former Happy Kids posted it recently with the following caption about her time at Happy Kids Center as a young girl:
“I often find myself reminiscing about the old days too, when everything felt carefree and our smiles were genuine. We would spend hours playing outside, making up games, and finding joy in the little things, The laughter we shared seemed endless, and there was a certain magic in those moments that made everything feel perfect. It’s amazing how those memories can bring warmth to our hearts, reminding us of the innocence and happiness of childhood. Sometimes, I wish we could go back to those simpler times, where worries felt distant and happiness was just a smile away. Those days taught us to appreciate the little joys in life, and I hold onto those memories dearly ❤️”

When we launched the school lunch program in 2018 at Dyola Primary School, we knew it would make a difference—but the impact has been transformative.

Before this program, many of our community’s children didn’t attend school regularly. Hunger and the financial strain of providing meals often meant families had to make impossible choices. But with daily school lunches and after-school snacks like eggs, porridge, and fruit, we’ve turned barriers into bridges.

Since launching the program:
- School enrollment has doubled, with more children attending and staying in school.
- Parents can send their children to school knowing they’ll have a warm, nutritious meal waiting for them.
- Children now come to class ready to learn, focus, and grow.

For our Happy Kids, these meals mean more than nourishment—they’re a step toward breaking the cycle of poverty and building a brighter future.

This Giving Tuesday, your support keeps the plates full and the dreams alive. Together, let’s continue fueling the connection between nourishment and education.

In our early days, we partnered with Siddhi Memorial Women and Children’s Hospital to assess the health of our Happy Kids. The results were alarming: 70% of the children were severely underweight.

That’s when we knew our mission had to go beyond education. To learn and thrive, children first need to be healthy.

Here’s how we’re making that happen:
🌟 Bi-annual health camps provide thorough medical check-ups for all our kids. Diagnoses are followed by comprehensive treatment, fully funded by Happy Kids Center.
🌟 Personalized nutrition plans for children with the greatest need, developed in partnership with expert nutritionists.
🌟 A holistic approach that addresses malnutrition while promoting long-term well-being.

Since launching these programs, our Happy Kids are growing stronger—physically, emotionally, and academically. They’re healthier, more confident, and able to focus on learning, playing, and dreaming about the future.

When you give this Giving Tuesday, you’re giving health, hope, and opportunity. Your support ensures that every child in our community has the foundation they need to thrive.

Together, let’s keep building healthier futures.
