The Beginnings

Happiest Ones Health Support and Rights Initiative (HOHSRI) traces its roots to 2014 when a small group of compassionate individuals came together to form the Happiest Ones group chat. Initially, this group was a safe space for vulnerable individuals in Nigeria to connect, share experiences, and offer mutual support. The group quickly grew, fostering a strong sense of purpose, camaraderie, and enlightenment among its members. By 2020, the need to address broader psychosocial and health challenges became evident, leading to the establishment of HOHSRI.

Founding HOHSRI

Founded in 2020, HOHSRI emerged as a non-governmental organization dedicated to addressing the ongoing psychological and social needs of marginalized individuals. Our mission was clear: to improve the physical, mental, psychological, and financial well-being of those in need. We understood that creating a supportive and inclusive environment was crucial for the overall health and happiness of our community.

Vision and Growth

From its humble beginnings, HOHSRI has grown into a prominent organization recognized for its commitment to social integration, mental health support, and advocacy for the legal and socio-economic rights of marginalized individuals. Our vision is to invest in the mental and social health of these communities by establishing a safe house and mental health clinic dedicated to their well-being.

Milestones and Achievements

Over the years, HOHSRI has achieved numerous milestones:

• Community Building: Our initial group chat has evolved into a robust community platform with over a hundred active members, providing a crucial space for support and connection.
