For 12 years, caring for the present and building the future
When a child is cared for, an entire community flourishes.
We transform the lives of vulnerable children and families in Angola through education, health care, social assistance, rights advocacy and income generation.
12 years transforming stories
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, health care, social assistance, rights protection and income generation, we provide comprehensive care and opportunities to build a better future.
At our Community Child Centers, children receive education, meals, and medical, dental and educational-psychology support. Casa Nutri fights child malnutrition, while other initiatives promote literacy, vocational training and family assistance.
The results show the strength of this mission: around 500 children served every day, 2,700 visits at the Calumbiro Health Center, and 479 children monitored and recovered from severe chronic malnutrition in three years.
Every meal served, class taught and service provided represents a life cared for and a new story beginning.
