Happy Hearts Charity Gala
The Happy Hearts Charity Gala is one of the most prominent philanthropic events in Europe.
Every year in Prague, supporters of philanthropy from the Czech Republic and abroad come together to help rebuild schools and support education for children in areas affected by natural disasters.
The Gala combines an exceptional cultural experience with the opportunity to help where it’s truly needed.
The evening includes a charity auction, with proceeds going toward the construction of safe schools in Nepal, Mexico, and the Philippines.
The program features live music and inspiring encounters with leaders from the worlds of business, art, and the nonprofit sector.
The event is regularly attended by members of the international elite – philanthropists, diplomats, entrepreneurs, and artists.
Over the years, it has earned a reputation as one of Europe’s leading benefit events and a model of successful global philanthropy.
16th Annual Charity Gala
Happy Hearts will take place on June 19, 2026 in Prague.
Reserve your seats, invite friends, family or your business partners.
Join the charity auction – online before the Gala and live during the event.
The evening also includes the ceremonial presentation of the Happy Hearts Award for contributions to global philanthropy.
This honor has been awarded to distinguished figures from both international and Czech philanthropy – including Howard Buffett, President Bill Clinton, Quincy Jones, Caroline Scheufele, Sara Blakely, Simona Kijonková, and Petr Šimůnek.
Donor Trips:
Make a difference on the ground
Donor trips are a unique experience – for a few days, you’ll become part of a volunteer team working directly on a school construction site.
In small groups, we travel to countries where we provide long-term support – Nepal, Mexico, and the Philippines.
You’ll experience authentic contact with the local culture, meet the children we’re helping together, and contribute directly to building or rebuilding a new, safe school.
Expect a week full of inspiration, meaningful work, and shared joy – in a community of people who want to make the world a better place.
Join us and help children still waiting for their new school.
Nepal
February 2026
schools of Shree Jungha and Shree Nabajyoti, Sindhuli
We’ve been working in Nepal since 2015, after the country was hit by a devastating earthquake.
Together with All Hands and Hearts, we’ve launched our 31st school project – the reconstruction of Shree Jungha Primary School and Shree Nabajyoti Secondary School in Dudhauli, Sindhuli region.
Safe, resilient classrooms, new sanitation facilities, a playground, and fully renovated school grounds will provide a learning environment for more than 500 children and their teachers.
Join us! Together, we can help children return to school – to learn, play, and grow in a safe and inspiring space.
Mexico
October 2026
The specific school project will be announced in due time
We’ve been working in the state of Puebla, Mexico, since 2017, when the region was struck by two powerful earthquakes.
Today, we offer two types of donor trips in this area:
Parent + Child
Experience an unforgettable journey with your child.
Together, you’ll take part in simple maintenance work at one of our schools, visit a newly built school, and meet the children and families you’re helping.
This trip will show your child that education is not a given everywhere – that many children need our support, and that one person’s help can truly change another’s life.
Adults
Join an international volunteer team and help build a new school. You’ll be united by a shared purpose – helping where it’s truly needed.
Expect a meaningful journey and a powerful experience that will stay with you for life.
The Philippines
November 2026
The specific school project will be announced in due time.
We’ve been working in the Philippines since 2007, helping to rebuild schools destroyed by typhoons – and constructing them to withstand future disasters.
You’ll spend a week in the heart of tropical nature, alongside an international community united by a shared goal: to make the world a better place.
You’ll help where it’s truly needed – and return home with an experience that can’t be described, only lived.
