How much to should you give to help us do this job?
It costs money to give the children who live on the garbage dump some clean clothes and a bit of happiness!
First - Please remember...
We make sure your donations go to the right place!
Our unpaid dedicated team of volunteers ensures that all contributions go directly to the people who are in most need. There are no individuals or large administration departments squandering donated money or assets on unnecessary travel, fancy conferences or any other wasteful activities. Even our legal, accountancy and I.T. services are provided at the lowest possible cost.
We have no corporate or government sponsors...
We exist only by raising funds from individuals, community clubs & groups, international schools, sales of donated items and businesses who give their services.

We have no regular sponsors to cover the hard-costs to run our organisation. This means that those costs are often paid directly by Eddie Haworth (The Founder) and some of his friends...
The average cost for running our organisation is 16,000 to 20,000 Baht per month, which includes rent, car re-payments, fuel, I.T. and administration. “No one (Including Eddie) gets paid one cent at the Gift of Happiness Foundation”

We have bills - Just like you
| Help us pay these costs...
Please consider making donations towards our transport, maintenance & accommodation costs for one or two drivers & their vehicles when we visit those poor families and schools in Thailand. We try to plan one donation hand-out & show tour every month or so and we often have smaller "One-Day" projects as well...We have weekly collections of donated goods and often have to travel around many areas in Bangkok to pick-up these items...This all costs money! |
Quote from Operations Director - Eddie Haworth;
“I am happy to continue supporting the foundation through my commercial works as ‘Clown Eckie’. But as a small “One-Man-Band” business, I don’t actually earn so much, so it can be difficult for me to make plans for our projects without having any other income to fund them”.
