Help children live

Happily ever Smarter

Happily Ever Smarter was a life-changing United World Schools campaign backed by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) under its UK Aid Match initiative.

Between 29th April 2021 and 29th July 2021, the UK government matched your donations to help children from marginalised communities across Asia to get a vital education and live Happily Ever Smarter. Your donations will help us educate children, train teachers, build new schools and more in hundreds of remote, marginalised communities across Asia.

Thanks to your incredible support, we raised £2,809,067 to help children live Happily Ever Smarter, including £1,296,677 from the UK government!

How will the donations be used?
