A prize for all

In Mama's true spirit of being caring and sharing our Happy House made sure that all the kids from the local community who took part in our football tournament went home with a prize. And that prize was a football strip so that in future games they will be able to turn out dressed as a team. We had enough kits in our store, all generously donated by our friends, to ensure that these youngsters could make their game better by turning out in their own strip. 

As Papa Dave says the kids seem to grow in stature when they put on a football strip and their performance is given a lift too.



MAMA SUE MEMORIAL FUND

We have launched a memorial fund to honour our inspirational Mama Sue, founder of Children of Watamu and Happy House.

Since her sudden, and heartbreaking, passing we have received hundreds of wonderful and affectionate tributes to Sue.

They mean so much to her beloved husband, our Papa Dave, and to all the Happy House family.

Quite a number of people have asked about a memorial fund and we have, with Papa's blessing, decided to launch one.

The last year and half has been a struggle with fundraising pretty much at a standstill because of the pandemic so every penny donated will be a huge help.

We hope you may want to make a donation and that, maybe, some of the organisations that have fundraised for us in the past may want to hold a fundraising event in support of Happy House in memory of Mama Sue.

Whatever, every penny will make a difference to the lives of children.

* Some friends have already made donations and we are truly grateful to you.

You can make a donation either via our bank account (regular donors will have the details), or through Paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ChildrenofWatamu or Justgiving
