The story of Happy Home
These difficult conditions created the need for the support of vulnerable girls that, typically, are the usual victims. Thus, ActionAid’s Happy Home became a shelter for vulnerable girls and from 2006, it has provided shelter, safety and security, as well as education to thousands of girls. In Dhaka, the area with the greatest problem, ActionAid set up 5 homes and, at the outset of this initiative, provided shelter and education to 150 young girls between 7 and 18 years old. In 2016, after all those years of operation, the 5 homes merged in one, in Mohammadpur, Dhaka, and to date we have been consistently improving the lives of these girls. 17,000 girls have been supported in the course of these years. And we keep going!
Each and every donation,
small or large, is of paramount importance
for the present and future of these girls.
