What is GHIF

 Welcome to Genuine Happiness International Foundation – Uganda Chapter.

GHIF is a grassroots movement committed to transforming the lives of youth who have been excluded from traditional education systems. We believe that education—in every form—is a birthright and not a privilege. Through hands-on vocational training, mentorship and narrative advocacy, we equip young people with the skills and dignity they need to build independent, self-reliant lives.

Our mission unfolds across four key programme areas: Education | HealthcareVocational Training and mentorship.

 

These interconnected pathways allow us to support street-connected youth holistically by empowering them to reach their full potential and become agents of change within their communities.

Genuine Happiness International Foundation is part of a global vision where no child is left behind and no future is denied regardless of where they come from. Together, with aligned networks, we work toward a world where dignity is restored, hope is tangible and genuine happiness becomes a lived reality.

 

 We don’t just train—we listen, uplift and amplify. Through campaigns like Moments in Movement and Voices That Build, we spotlight graduate journeys and centre lived experience as a tool for change.

Genuine Happiness International Foundation -Uganda Chapter isn’t just a name. It’s the feeling of a door opened, a skill learned and a future reclaimed.
