About the Foundation
Helping young people rediscover the joy of their unique lives
Be Happy Foundation is a non-governmental organization founded by Dr. Rose Ogbechie, with a mission to inspire and empower young people to create lasting change through positive thinking and happiness within their communities.
Be Happy Foundation aims at impacting the lives of young people by helping them to rediscover the joy of their unique lives, and to find happiness.
The Foundation is intent on achieving this by guiding young people through processes towards self-affirmation, self-actualization and self-fulfilment. People often encounter unhappiness when troubled with negative thoughts, anxiety, tension, fear and uncertainty.
The Foundation undertakes seminars, workshops and counselling for schools and organisations.
The Foundation also empowers young ladies through vocational training, formation and mentorship.

Who we are
Happiness is serious business.
Finding happiness is a pressing concern in a developing country like ours, where corruption and poverty are rampant.
Despite Nigeria's improved ranking in the 2019 World Happiness Report as the 86th happiest country in the world and 2nd in Sub-Saharan Africa, suicide rates keep surging. A lot of individuals live each day without a sense of purpose and happiness.
Happy workplaces measurably outperform.

Support the work we are doing by giving back to society.
A key challenge we face as a Foundation is getting sufficient funds to finance our projects. Support can also be given by sponsoring our programmes. In supporting the work we do, you would be making significant impact in the lives of many young Nigerians.
