Backpack
Quantity Needed: 30
Each morning, several students arrive at school carrying their books in temporary shopping bags. These bags are not strong enough for daily use and, over time, they wear out or tear, leaving books exposed to damage. Despite this challenge, the students continue to attend school and do their best in class. However, carrying books this way is uncomfortable and not sustainable for their learning. A simple backpack would make a significant difference, helping them carry their materials safely and comfortably each day. Currently, 30 students need backpacks.
Computer
Quantity Needed: 20
At Adaklu Ahunda Kpodzi Basic School, ICT exists only on the blackboard. Children learn by memorising drawings of computers they have never seen or touched. All 223 pupils are expected to pass national exams in technology despite having no access to real devices. At Happy Daffodils, we believe theory alone is not enough. Through Operation: Theory Is Not Enough, we aim to build the school’s first functional computer lab, replacing chalk drawings with real digital skills. This project will give rural children their first true opportunity to learn, practise, and participate in the digital world. Our goal is to launch the lab in 2026, with your support.

We are requesting a camera to support our education projects, which will directly benefit 100 students with disabilities.

Bottoms (shorts)

In remote communities across Dowa District in Malawi, many children are trying to go to school without proper clothing. It’s not just uncomfortable, it affects how they feel about themselves. Some children feel embarrassed, lose confidence, and sometimes stop going altogether because they are afraid of being laughed at. They can sometimes manage without shoes. They can sometimes manage without a proper top. But they cannot go to school without pants. This is the simple, urgent need we are facing. With something as basic as a pair of shorts, a child can walk into school with dignity, feel confident, and stay in class. It may seem small, but for these children, it can make the difference between attending school or staying home. We urgently need shorts for children of all ages. Any size. Any colour. Pre-loved or new, everything is welcome. Your donation will go directly to children who need it, helping them show up, participate, and continue their education with confidence.

These visual records will support progress reporting, donor communication, and advocacy for education. Photographs also help highlight success stories and motivate communities by showcasing positive change. In addition, proper visual documentation strengthens monitoring and evaluation by providing evidence of project implementation and improvements in learning environments.
