Happy Child International Foundation, a British charity led by Sarah de Carvalho MBE, protects children from exploitation around major sporting events.
Happy Child International Foundation is responsible for the extremely successful and globally impactful ‘It’s A Penalty’ campaign during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, aimed at combating child exploitation around the tournament. Their campaign, including the short film featuring Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Frank Lampard and David Luiz reached over 307 million people worldwide. The Metropolitan Police said it was “the best crime prevention campaign we’ve ever seen”.
