Joy
for children
We bring outreach joy sessions and uplift youth and children. We also bring inspired JOY training to school going children – encouraging them to be the source of joy in the world.
UPLIFT YOUR YOUTH
We are UP for more joy in the world…
We are an Arts for Health public benefit organisation, co-creating a movement of joy throughout Southern Africa and the world.
It’s our vision to have a world where JOY is the general emotional state of being. So we are bringing waves of joy to where it’s needed most. We are Uplifting and inspiring humankind to join UP and practice being both human and kind and be the source of joy they wish to see in the world too.

The UPstory
We began sharing joy with children in Red Cross Childrens Hospital in August 2003 and over the years we’ve had hundreds of volunteers share joy with thousands of children, parents and staff, evolving our joy movement through 18 years of joyful service.
Nowadays our uplifting sessions and training models, which include mindfulness, emotional wellness, creative self expression and socio-emotional upliftment, is focused on care-givers, and children in schools and homes from previously disadvantaged areas.
We train up joy facilitators and even corporate teams and will continue to support and collaborate with all those who want to unite and UPlift our societies and co-create a joyous world.
We invite you to support and or join us as we continue to enthuse more joy in Hospitals, Schools, Prisons, Businesses and Communities.
