Dress Africa Scaling Success on Grids of Hapiness

Did you know that Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan has introduced a Minister for Happiness to gain a greater understanding of the ‘gross national happiness?' Did you also know that Last year UK Prime Minister David Cameron published the country’s first ever Happiness Index that will help scale national satisfaction of its citizens? There is a paradigm shift on definition of success where society satisfaction and happiness is now scaled on top more than profits or revenues earned.

For a not-for-profit organization like Dress Africa which focuses on the value we create and add on the lives of marginalized communities in Africa, happiness has been our long term definition of success as people's satisfaction is what we are for. By improving life standards with our new entrepreneurial ideas and community development projects, the change we are creating on ground is more important not only to us but to all our stakeholders.

How do we Achieve Mass Happiness?

You will agree with us when we say that teaching people how to fish is no-longer helpful, It has become a pun that has yielded less since most NPOs started using it. Now that people have been taught how to fish, we also need to know that they need a water body nearby otherwise their fishing skills are all in vain. Dress Africa as an organization is here to provide them with opportunities to fish through our new entrepreneurial ideas as well as through our micro finance program that is opening employment gates to many.

We support farmers using our micro loan program. An example of how we change lives can be seen on the attached video above of a farmer celebrating with his community the bounty harvest they got. This is how we measure our success; by looking at the value we create on the ground and how our stakeholders are satisfied by opportunities we offer.

With this program, Dress Africa has introduced nutrition program in the most rural parts of Kenya with a goal of seeing children living a healthy life from the fresh produce they harvest on their farms.

We are fighting diseases such as Osteoporosis, Scurvy, anemia, malnutrition etc using basic organic farming. Join us in building healthy, happy and satisfied societies in Africa. For only $1 you can make somebody earn more than two dollars a day and above all draw a family closer to God.
