Dear friends,
After 17 years of making footprints of change, Project Happy Feet will be ending its operations.
Since its first project to Siem Reap, Cambodia in 2008, Project Happy Feet has raised and disbursed more than USD1.3 million to support education programmes that make learning possible, empower lives and alleviate poverty in Cambodia, India, Nepal, Vietnam and Singapore.
We were able to give away 100% of the funds we raised because we operated on a 100%-volunteer run model with all costs covered by corporates and individuals.
Over the years, we were successful in carrying out a number of innovative fundraising projects. Flagship events like Chefs for a Cause and PHF Slipper Race grew in popularity and size over the years, attracting thousands of corporate organisations, government agencies, community groups, families and friends.
None of these would have been possible if not for the hundreds of volunteers who have contributed their ideas, time, energy, connections and resources.
As the landscape evolves with many more fundraising options now available for our developmental partners, we saw a lesser need for organisations like PHF which was set up purely for volunteers to run fundraising projects to fund specific overseas programmes.
We’re grateful for the countless supporters and partners of Project Happy Feet who have made this journey possible and the impact real.
We shall look back to the many projects we ran with fondness, and hope our collective memory of PHF’s past will serve as an inspiration for us to continue our own journey of making footprints of change.
