HAPPY HOME TRUST PROJECT, INDIA
Happy Home Trust is a group home for orphans and children living in poverty.
The lady who runs the home, Ranjeeta Devi, and the approximately 50 children under her care, have been evicted because the owner has decided to sell the house they had long rented.
With your support we are sending funds to build a house of their own.
With your support, we’re sending funds for them to build a house of their own.
Thanks to everyone’s support, funds have already been sent by Opera San Giuseppe and Akropolis a.p.s., an Italian charity we work with, so that construction can get under way as soon as possible.
It’s happening! The work is proceeding well, but a lot more money is still needed to cover all the expenses.
Help us support Ranjeeta and her children. Donate now!

Phases of the project
The construction work started in August 2018 and, as you can see from the photos, a great deal of progress has already been made. Thanks to a partnership between various international NGOs, EUR 63,000 have already been raised. The children at the Happy Home will soon have a place to call their own, without fear of eviction. Finishing the construction of the house still requires the installation of septic tanks for water and a fence to protect the children. A further EUR 33,000 are still needed. Let’s give these children a welcoming home where they can grow up in a loving and caring environment.

HAPPY HOME thanks us for our support so far (June 2021)
Dear San Giuseppe Association Switzerland, We would like to thank you very much for your continued support of the Building Projects. Because of your generosity, we are able to further our mission in bettering the lives of children across all of the rural area here in Puttaparthi and the neighbouring community. It means the world to us and all of the children who are able to be part of our mission.
We would again like to thank you for coming forward and helping our mission. You have always been generous in helping us as and when needed.
I just wanted to thank you for the fact that, besides giving the children a beautiful home and providing for the interior needs of house (beds, bed covers, cupboards, etc.), with your donation, we have also been able to prepare a garden which the children will use to grow things in and, very importantly, we have managed to build a boundary wall, which is very important for the security of the children.
So once again thank you very much from all of us at Happy Home.
Our special thanks go out to Akropolis a.p.s.
We are very grateful for your love.
From the bottom of our hearts, Ranjeeta, the kids and all the staff.
