Charity

Throughout the school year, the children, staff and parents at Oatlands school will support a variety of local, national and international charities. Below is an overview of some of the charitable work we have done recently.

Happy House - Children of Watamu

Happy House1Since 2011, we have been sponsoring 2 children via the Happy House (Children of Watamu) charity. Happy House provides a safe home for over 100 vulnerable children in Kenya as well as schooling for a further 380 children from nursery through to secondary school.  We are currently sponsoring 2 girls: Diana and Elizabeth and receive regular updates about their progress and achievements.
