Happy Star
Stephen Odiambo Arodi, known as Steve, is a visionary from Mathare, a large slum in Nairobi, Kenya, where access to education is extremely limited. Faced with this challenge, Steve founded the first Happy Star School in Nairobi in 2016, offering pre-school and primary education to the children of Mathare. This initiative aims to break the cycle of poverty by giving children a chance to succeed and build a better future. The text also stresses the importance of supporting this project to help local children.

Objective
The creation of the website for Steve’s charity was aimed at supporting and promoting Happy Star’s educational initiative. By providing an accessible and informative online platform, the website aims to attract the attention of potential donors, volunteers and educational partners on an international scale. It also raises awareness of the challenges facing the children of Mathare and demonstrates the positive impact that education can have on the lives of young people in this marginalised community.
Approach
The approach adopted in creating the site focused on clarity, engagement and interactivity. It has been designed with a user-friendly and intuitive interface, allowing visitors to navigate easily between the different sections. Testimonials, photos and videos have been integrated to illustrate the children’s stories and the progress made thanks to the Happy Star school. A section dedicated to news and events has been included to keep donors and partners informed of the association’s current activities and needs. In addition, interactive features such as online contact and donation forms have been introduced to encourage active participation and continued support.
Result
The creation of the website has given the Happy Star school visibility and strengthened its support network. Since its launch, the site has attracted a growing number of visitors, generating significant interest and commitment from the international community. Donations and partnerships have increased, enabling the school to improve its infrastructure and expand its educational programmes. In short, the website has proved to be an invaluable tool for amplifying the impact of Steve’s association and offering a real chance of a better future to the children of Mathare.
