Changing Lives,
Building Hope.
We stand beside children in conflict with the law — and the families,
women and elders who love them — bringing justice, healing and a
way back home across West Nile, Central, Eastern, Acholi and Lango.
WHO WE ARE
Justice that heals,
not just punishes
Happy Care Foundation is a registered non-governmental organization in Uganda, founded by a group of friends who refused to look away. We provide legal representation to juveniles in conflict with the law, mental health and psychosocial support to children and their caregivers, and we walk with youth, women and the elderly until they are safely reintegrated into their communities.
Because a court case is never just a case — it is a child waiting, a family worrying, and a future hanging in the balance.
WHAT WE DO
Four ways we change a life
From the courtroom to the village, our programs wrap around a child and their
community — so that justice leads somewhere hopeful.
