Learn a little something about us
The idea of starting this charity was born in 1992 by British and Swedish born Circus performers, Mr & Mrs Eddie & Charlotte Haworth when they ran circus training workshops for disadvantaged kids in Liverpool, UK.
In 2000 following the loss of his wife, Eddie was invited to perform at a charity event held at the British Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand. Soon after that performance and a few more for the slum kids in Bangkok, it was quickly decided to bring more gifts of laughter and educational entertainment to orphans and poor families in Thailand.
Now supported by a team of dedicated volunteers, Gift of Happiness Foundation is not tied to supporting just a few children at only one location. Therefore, this unique charity has the freedom to provide joy to thousands of children in urban and remote locations throughout the country.
What we do.
The Foundation regularly gives simple interactive and educational comedy shows to those whose lives quite often contain little joy. We also give away tons of essential goods during our aid giving projects, delivered where it's needed most and at least once every month of the year. (We serve around 2,000 people in great need every month!)
Who we help.
Orphans, vulnerable street children, Bangkok slum dwellers, families living on garbage dumps, AIDS centres and facilities housing physically or mentally challenged children. We regularly serve medical centres, crisis centres for abused women, communities of migrant worker families and people displaced by civil war who live in refugee camps.
What we actually give.
The charity gives children and their family’s basic necessities like clothing, bedding, medical supplies, educational equipment, toys, agricultural tools and tons more useful goods. The children always get to see a top class professional comedy show to leave them with a fantastic memory that no-one can ever steal from them!

New truck appeal
Here's the situation...as written by the founder at GoHF, Eddie Haworth...
To deliver all the goods every month we have been given a small truck capable of taking around 4 tons and a large trailer that we regularly load with another couple of tons. The small truck is provided by Monroe Consulting Group, Bangkok and the Trailer was purchased with money provided as an anonymous gift sent directly to me, Eddie Haworth. The trailer is taken on our regular 8/9 hour drives to the North of Thailand where we serve some of the neediest people in South East Asia. It is pulled by a 4x4 truck that I bought in 2013, when I was still earning enough to pay for it myself...
My much loved truck has virtually come to the end of it's useful life and is 13 years old having done more than 300,000.Km and it's costing me a fortune to keep on the road. I've checked on the price for a new one and its 1.2 million baht ($36,000.USD) for the one we need.
Note; These figures were updated on 18/07/18...
In conclusion;
I sincerely hope that anyone considering supporting this vital appeal can see that it's not just me or anyone else who fancies having a nice new truck to play around with? This is truly the backbone of our operations and without a new truck we could be looking at ending much of the essential deliveries to thousands of people who have come to rely on us over many years past.

Note; These figures were updated on 18/07/18...
- I have some personal savings and have received two gifts from anonymous donors; Total value = THB-900,000 ($26,654.USD)
- So we need to raise at least THB-312,000 ($9,346.USD)
