The story of Joyful Life began many years ago. There was an 8-year-old girl named Sabrina. She saw a boy who had tripped, fallen, and was bleeding heavily from his leg. Since the boy did not have shoes, she watched as his friends who were nearby covered his wound with dirt and cloth.

This act of kindness and the boy's lack of shoes were engraved in the young girl's heart.
Because of this, all she could think about was helping children in need like that boy. This
desire was so strong that she could not even focus on her education. Back then, she promised
herself to help everyone who was like that boy who tripped.

In the following years, by saving the money she got, she accumulated enough to buy a pair of
shoes. After buying them, she happily looked for someone to give them to. Before going too far,
she saw a girl walking barefoot and gave her the shoes. The girl's happiness filled her inner
self with joy. At that moment, she asked herself, "Why is it that I live with everything
provided for me, while other children cannot get their basic needs?"

Sabrina's life purpose began with this very story. This purpose is to fulfill basic needs and provide educational support, along with their families, for underprivileged children and those in need. After many ups and downs to achieve this, the Joyful Life organization was established.
