Partners and friends of Joy of a Child have made it possible for us to provide many important items to improve the lives of children around the world.

Items ranging from medical supplies, wheelchairs, food, clothes, shoes, and personal hygiene products to printing equipment, power tools, and cement mixers.
Our partners have made a big difference in the lives of so many children. A difference that can be seen by the smile on each child's face.
When we were notified that a child was suffering from asthma and needed a breathing machine called a Nebulizer, we quickly responded providing not just one, but two.

All of the items are carefully packed using every inch of available space. Each team member sorts
through all the supplies to make sure all of the medicines are in one container and all the school
supplies are together as well.

Loading heavy equipment with a forklift
Much heavier items require the right equipment
and when printing equipment was ready to be transported, a fork lift made it much easier to load each piece of machinery.

Although it requires a lot of time and energy to go through the complete process of gathering, packing, and shipping, it is well worth it all when
you see the faces of the children and the impact you were able to make on each one of their lives.
