After all, the world needs to see a bit of Happiness right now?
The Charity is a non profit, non political and non religious organisation that is established to serve needy children with simple slapstick comedy "edutainment" and essential goods, whether the children happen to have been born into Buddhist, Christian, Muslim or other religious, humanist/atheist families and families and societies.
Eddie firmly believes that Innocent children who are living in poverty, abusive situation or fleeing from conflict have just as much right to enjoy a few hours of harmless fun that's given to them by the Gift of Happiness Foundation in a safe environment by a few people who are genuinely happy to give them unconditional gifts of happiness.
Quick facts about funding for the Gift of Happiness Foundation...

Eddie also provided the main 4x4 off-road capable vehicle needed for the charity to bring essential goods to remote parts of Thailand. He still covers repayments and maintenance costs for the latest 4x4 vehicle, purchased in 2018 at a cost of ฿1.2 million-THB ($38,300-USD). The money for all this came and still comes from Eddie's earnings as a professional Entertainer and since 2018, from Eddie's British state pension.
