Our Happy House School puts hope into the hearts of kids where once there was none.

Children and young people living in our children's home and on our scholarship scheme,  all from desperate poverty, are achieving high results in a school where we are giving them a free education that is second to none.

We believe it is essential to equip them for a hi-tech world and through the use of technology we broaden their outlook and their understanding.

As well as having a dedicated computer room, with internet access, we also have two Smart televisions with wifi.

Both donated these are used as a learning tool for classes from playgroup  to secondary school .

Lessons, where Smart TV is used, are timetabled by teachers and both are in use all day, every day.

For the younger kids they are key to developing language skills, bringing a marked improvement in English and use of language.  They are becoming fluent in English more quickly than ever before.

Teachers are using tvs to stream programmes, videos and apps and are discovering a new impetus for teaching which they have only ever done from text books.

They harness technology to give them a flexible and exciting approach to delivering lessons, which keeps students engaged in what they are doing.

But because they are housed in two rooms, originally intended as classrooms, we must now build two new classrooms by January. 

Because we have our own skilled labour, and with Papa driving the best deals on materials, we can estimate a cost of £7,000.

Every penny has to be raised and we are asking YOU to help us.

Please make a donation, hold an event, set yourself a sponsored challenge or collect among your friends. 

If you need leaflets, help with publicity, etc please contact Elizabeth who will be happy to help: elizabethgomm@childrenofwatamu.net

We only have a short time to raise the money and complete the build.

Our children count on us, and we count on you.
