A Movement Born
From Conviction

Breeze of Joy Foundation was founded in 2021 by Joy Sobhanian and Dr. Soha Sobhanian in Fullerton, California. Both founders come from cultures where the education of women was often sidelined — where social and religious barriers made access to schooling far more difficult for girls.

These lived experiences shaped their unshakeable belief: a society can only truly advance when women and men are empowered equally. Dr. Sobhanian pursued education to the highest levels, and witnessing its transformative power instilled in her a deep responsibility to give back.

Today, Breeze of Joy operates entirely through volunteers — our founders, board members, and supporters give their time, skills, and resources freely. Not one dollar from your donation pays a salary or rent.

Built on Radical
Transparency

We operate differently from most nonprofits — and deliberately so. Every decision we make is guided by one question: does this help a girl?

No Office
We operate from our homes at our own expense. Zero rent. Zero utilities. Zero overhead paid from donations.
🙌
No Salaries
Every founder and team member is a volunteer. We earn nothing from donations. Every penny goes to the girls.
💯
100% to Girls
Every single dollar you donate goes directly to a girl's education. Tuition, books, uniforms, meals, transportation — covered in full.
🏆

More Than
Just Tuition

Our scholarships are comprehensive — covering everything a girl needs to focus on learning. We go beyond academics because we know that a hungry child cannot study, and an unsafe child cannot thrive.

Tuition & Fees
Books & Supplies
School Uniforms
Transportation
Daily Meals
Living Expenses

But our mission extends beyond academics. We focus on nurturing physical, moral, and spiritual growth — helping each student build resilience, confidence, and a sense of belonging in the world.

The Principles
That Guide Us

💛
Compassion
We see each girl as a complete human being with dignity, potential, and a story worth telling.
🔍
Transparency
We publish what we spend, show who we support, and report honestly — every year, without exception.
⚖️
Equality
We believe a society only truly advances when women and men are educated and empowered equally.
"We see children as a community's greatest trust. How they are guided and educated shapes the future they will create. When resources are limited, educating girls creates an especially powerful ripple effect — women shape families, raise future generations, and anchor their communities."
— Joy Sobhanian, Co-Founder & CFO
