OUR STORY: A JOURNEY TOWARDS HOPE
The Happiness Foundation is a philanthropic institution rooted in determination and possibility. We believe every moment holds the potential for breakthrough that can change lives and rewrite destinies.
Previously known as the Victory Adullam Foundation, the foundation was born from our founder, Happiness', conviction that every child deserves a fair chance to the best quality education. She privately supported several children from her own income. Today it stands as a testament to her pursuit to offer as many underpriviledged children in Zimbabwe as possible the opportunity to continue their education when finances are the main barrier to success.
In spite of the passing on of Happi, we continue the mission with an increased drive to reach even more children. She became the beacon guiding us on a new path. We've expanded our impact to supporting research aimed at finding better treatments and ultimately a cure for breast cancer.
With every child put through school, every life touched, every research grant awarded, and every study conducted we carry forward Happiness' legacy.
Empowering The Next
Generation
Zimbabwe’s education system is losing children at every stage because families cannot afford school fees: an estimated one million secondary‑school‑age learners are already out of school, while 190,000 more drop out each year due to poverty.
At primary level, 30% of children leave school annually for the same economic reasons, and a further 10–15% never enter primary school at all, reflecting deep structural barriers for the poorest households. Among those who complete primary school, only 47% transition to secondary education, meaning more than half are blocked by costs at the most critical point.
These figures show a community under immense pressure, where financial barriers, not ability or motivation, are pushing children out of the education pipeline long before they reach their potential.
WHAT WE DO
Leading Cancer Research
in Africa
African cancer cases continue to rise. It is projected that by the year 2030 low to middle-income countries will represent 75% of all global cancer mortalities. We believe this narrative can change through local African-led research. Our goal is to invest in world class research that will focus on prevention, detection and treatment, so that children are not left orphaned.
