About Bag of Joy
A student-led movement Making giving simple, transparent, and joyful.
What started as a small act of kindness has grown into a platform that connects students, families, and nonprofits to spread joy through giving. Bag of Joy makes it easy for anyone to support children — whether by fulfilling wishlists, funding school meals, or hosting fundraisers — with transparency and purpose at every step. Because when giving is simple and meaningful, everyone gets to feel the joy they’ve shared.
About Maahi
The fifth grader who turned one bag of gifts into a platform for shared joy.
Hi, I’m Maahi — and Bag of Joy began with a simple idea: to make one child’s Christmas a little brighter. In fifth grade, I learned that not every child gets to experience the joy of opening gifts during the holidays, so I decided to fill one bag with presents for a child in foster care.
That one bag sparked something bigger. Over the years, it’s grown into a platform that connects students, families, and nonprofits to support children across the world.
Through Bag of Joy, I’ve learned that when we give joy, we don’t lose it — we multiply it.
