Welcome to Happiness-Now, our mission is to ignite change, uplift communities, and foster self-sufficiency. Since our inception in 1998, we’ve been passionately dedicated to transforming lives and eradicating poverty and homelessness in the Dominican Republic—one community at a time. 

 

 

Through the unwavering support of generous donors and dedicated volunteers, we’ve made significant strides in providing essential services such as health and dental care, education, school supplies, clothing, and companionship to nursing home residents. Additionally, our focus on youth leadership development and spiritual guidance has left an indelible mark on communities in Mao, Santo Domingo, and Jarabacoa. We continue to expand our reach and deepen our impact, steadfast in our commitment to creating a brighter, more hopeful future for generations to come. Join us in spreading happiness and transforming lives today.

In the heart of Santo Domingo, a community of Haitian refugees faces dire challenges, often unable to secure a meal for each day. Many spend their days scavenging the city landfill for scraps to sell or use in their makeshift homes, risking their lives amidst frequent trash avalanches. Yet, amidst adversity, their dedication to worship remains unwavering. Despite their financial struggles, they prioritize renting a small building each month for regular gatherings to honor God. Moved by their unwavering faith, we stepped in to alleviate their burden by covering the $100 monthly rent for their church. Now, these devoted Christ-followers can worship freely, assured of a sacred space, while also meeting their most basic needs. Through this act of support, we’ve not only provided physical assistance but also upheld their spiritual well-being, empowering them to continue their journey with hope and resilience.
