The initiative called the “National Program for Happiness and Wellbeing” is launched by the government of UAE, and aims to get UAE into the world’s top five happiest countries. The whole idea is about bringing more happiness, well-being and positivity into people’s everyday lives. The current study focuses on African migrant students in UAE to understand their sources of meaning that predict the social well-being of African migrant students. The response was collected through an online survey and selected responses from 400 students across five universities in UAE. The results confirmed that most of the explanatory variables significantly correlated with the category of well-being. The findings of this research will encourage policymakers in the UAE to consider these inputs and to introduce the required initiatives to meet their vision of becoming one of the top five happiest countries in the world.
