For 12 years, caring for today and building the future
When a child is embraced, an entire community flourishes.
We transform the lives of vulnerable children and families in Angola through education, healthcare, social assistance, advocacy and income generation.
12 years transforming lives
Who we are
Love transformed into action
Since August 26, 2014, Criança Feliz Angola has worked to transform the lives of vulnerable children and families. We are a Christian, non-governmental, nonprofit organization founded in Lubango, Africa, and committed to the development of Angolan communities.
Through 19 projects in education, healthcare, social assistance, rights advocacy and income generation, we provide comprehensive care and opportunities to build a better future.
At our Community Children’s Centers, children receive education, meals, and medical, dental and educational-psychology support. The Casa Nutri project combats childhood malnutrition, while other initiatives promote literacy, vocational training and family assistance.
The results show the strength of this mission: around 500 children supported every day, 2,700 consultations at the Calumbiro Health Center, and 479 children monitored and recovered from severe chronic malnutrition over three years.
Every meal served, class taught and appointment provided represents a life embraced and a new story beginning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers about donations, child sponsorship and ways to contribute.
What is the difference between sponsorship and a donation?
Through sponsorship, you cover some or all of the monthly expenses of one or more children. You can follow their development, take part in their journey and maintain personal contact through a monthly video call.
With a donation, funds are used to cover project costs and keep each initiative active and focused on its purpose.
How does sponsorship work?
Through sponsorship, you can build a connection with the sponsored child or children while covering part or all of their participation in our projects, so they receive meals, education, healthcare and other forms of support.
How many children can I sponsor?
You or your company may sponsor as many children as you wish. Sponsorship is an act of love that gives a child the opportunity for a better future.
Is there a set donation amount?
There is no set amount. Starting at R$ 1.00 per day — R$ 30.00 per month — you can contribute and transform lives. Give according to your financial means and within your budget. We recommend a recurring monthly donation, which you may stop whenever necessary.
How can I donate?
Donations can be made by debit card, credit card, boleto, Pix, PayPal or bank transfer for donors in Angola.
