2021 was a year like no other. Covid-19 dominated our thoughts and actions; the world learned about vaccines, the Delta variant, Omicron, and we went about learning how to adjust. The AllPeopleBeHappy foundation discouraged overseas travel by not granting any Volunteer Service Award. To help organizations adjust to the Pandemic, we awarded more Project Grants than ever,13 renewal and 6 new ones. With our Opportunity Grant, we continued to “solarize” primary schools in Tanzania, installing solar panels, lights, TVs, radios, and charging stations in 29 more schools. With the Challenge Grant, Green Empowerment was able to accomplish two of their goals, hiring an in-country Uganda program coordinator, and starting the pilot project to electrify Nyumanzi Health Center. Despite the shutdowns, four AllPeopleBeHappy Fellows completed their assignments in Costa Rica, Uganda, Jordan, and Dominican Republic, and we awarded two new Fellows grants.
