Jade's Traveling Backpack Mission
Welcome to Jade's Traveling Backpack Mission, a nonprofit organization founded by Jade and her parents in 2012. Jade’s journey began at just two years old on her first international trip, carrying her favorite pink backpack filled with books, toys, and activities. As she traveled, Jade noticed many children lacked similar opportunities. Driven by a desire to help, Jade and her family began distributing backpacks filled with gifts during their travels.
Today, Jade continues this tradition, never traveling without her pink backpack and others packed with donations. Her mission has taken her to six continents, where she’s made a positive impact and embraced diverse cultures. What began with backpacks has evolved into a broader initiative, including building homes and schools, purchasing land, funding tuition, providing tablets, and more. Jade’s Traveling Backpack Mission has even adopted a road in her hometown to help maintain the beauty of her community.
In addition to her mission work, Jade is an author and illustrator, writing books to inspire others. Jade is also an inspired dermatologist and entrepreneur, with a growing beauty line that reflects her commitment to self love.
