Our first step was in February 2025, at El-Cintar City Academy in Lagos: school supplies for the classrooms and plush gifts for the children.
Where the 10% goes
10% of profits support education in underserved Nigerian communities. We also give plush to children's charities in Houston.

Where it's gone so far
In Nigeria
Supplies help, but teachers are what make a classroom work. In many of these schools they teach with very little and are paid less. So part of the 10% goes to teachers directly, and we ask them what they need next rather than guessing.
As Happydandis grows, the 10% grows with it.
In Houston
Some of our plush go to children who are going through a hard time. We give them through local organizations that know where they're needed.
50 plush to Houston Fire Department, passed on to local nonprofits that help children
40 plush to Houston Children's Charity, for children facing poverty, abuse or disability
50 plush to BEAR Houston, for children in foster care and CPS programs
