Youth Education, Wellbeing & Leadership

Supporting Young People to Thrive

Young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds face unique challenges — disrupted education, trauma, language barriers and cultural adjustment. HAPANI helps them grow in confidence, connection, leadership and belonging.

HAPANI Stories

“Homework Club changed everything.”

A young newcomer boy who barely spoke English began attending the HAPANI homework club. After three months, his teacher contacted HAPANI to say: “His confidence has transformed — he puts his hand up in class now.”
