The UPliftment Programme (UP), a not-for-profit organisation based in South Africa joyfully active since 2003.
Currently we are expanding our outreach to bring joy not just to the children of Southern Africa – but to the adults who really need joyful UPliftment too, with our online UPlifting show pieces and our FREE community joy activism.
Nicola Jackman, Founder/Cheerlady of The UP says; “Our organisation’s volunteers are proud to be “yay-sayers” and support the transformation of humankind, from serious, problem-focused people – to inspired, solution-orientated and joyfully active community.”
The UP also grows the possibility of joy, by training UP volunteer Care Clowns & JOY ACTIVISTS nationwide – who in turn commit to their local hospital/home every week and share joy there with the children, parents and staff. Currently in Southern Africa there are over 75 volunteer Care Clowns, with a monthly JOYful UPliftment of approximately 3500 people a month.
