Give every child in South Africa educational toy

Toy libraries provide play resources to communities. This can be in the form of toys, games, play opportunities, and trained toy librarians who facilitate play and educate others on play and toys. Most toy libraries in South Africa provide play sessions at the library as well as a toy lending service to the greater community.

Access to toys in rural areas, where families may face financial challenges, is vital for the development of children. Play is not just a privilege for children; it's fundamental for their overall growth and offers a secure space to engage in activities essential for their well-being.

Access to toys in rural communities where parents may struggle to afford them is crucial for children's development. Play is not only a child's right but also essential for their holistic growth and provides a safe environment for them to play.

As children play, their cognitive ability, communication skills, imagination, creativity and physical strength are also encouraged. Besides giving children access to toys, the programme also encourages parental involvement as it allows parents to visit the toy libraries to play with children and to borrow the toys to further stimulate children at home. According to research, most parents in rural communities are not aware of the importance of early learning and parental involvement, therefore having such a programme enables parents to start giving attention, playing with children and becoming more involved in their life and education from an early age.
