Gift of Happiness Foundation

You buy new educational supplies, underwear and uniforms from Gift of Happiness
We give them all directly to children in need.

The children we serve are very poor, but there are “poor kids” and “POOR KIDS”.
Most children we support are educated and live on dirt floors, under thatched roofs with woven rattan walls. The children wear cast-off clothes  and old shorts for underwear, most of which has deteriorated to little more than rags and their learning centers are very sparsely equipped.

Are the kids happy? Yes, they generally are, but they have no sense of community, no school spirit, no real sense that they belong to anything, which inhibits their ability to learn and positively develop their own social interactions. It is quite amazing to see how a simple sports type uniform, some nice cotton underwear and a very basic educational set can change their entire outlook on life as soon as they receive our gifts

New underwear for children in need

Our Ethical Purchasing Policy;
Gift of Happiness Foundation has a policy of only purchasing from manufacturing companies who we know to be respectful employers of staff aged over 18 years who are legally allowed to work in Thailand.
We only deal with companies who DO NOT use cheap or child labour and we try to purchase from companies who employ people living close to our urban work base which is located in one of Bangkok's poorest suburbs.
"This as a real 'Win-Win Situation' for poor kids, the staff at these ethically sound factories and all the great people who sponsor these essential goods!"

Gift of Happiness Foundation give tons of used clothing to hundreds of children in need every month. But pre-owned underwear is not often donated for obvious reasons.

Problem solved!

In August 2014, we sourced an ethically sound supplier of brand new underwear and have already given a little more dignity and comfort to some very grateful poor kids in Thailand.

Now you can buy as many sets as you like and we will deliver them directly to the children in most need.

Educational supplies for children who really appreciate it!

Basic learning tools for Schools with no budget for such essential supplies
Gift of Happiness Foundation supplies hundreds of items to help poor children study with the same basic equipment as more privileged children in better developed environments.

This basic educational pack offers these children enough materials to complete one term of study and the exams needed to get them to the next stage of education.

New uniforms for children in need

Uniforms give poor children dignity and self confidence anywhere they gather together. 

Quote - Mr. Simon Balmer - Volunteer Field Trip Photographer;
“If children in a school all have the same uniform then there is a reduced risk of bullying. When I saw the kids first lining up in their well worn and grubby clothes, and then saw the transformation in their looks and attitude once they had their new uniforms on, it came home to me that the reason for all this effort really pays off!”
Gift of Happiness Foundation provides children with uniforms that are practical, hard wearing and easy to keep clean and dry in difficult living conditions.

These are not the regular school uniforms like the ones worn by children at most government schools in Thailand. That's because parents or guardians don't have washing machines or even running water, except for the local stream.
