    Situation

    Throughout Venda, there is a dire need for children & educators alike to be provided with toys for educational and fun purposes, as the crèches in this region typically have up to 60 kids in one small room, with only the basics (paper, crayons, broken dolls, tyres) to play with.

    Solution

    Efforts are underway to organize toy collection centers in the United States & the United Kingdom. Donations of the following items are being accepted: dolls, Legos, large floor puzzles, wooden shape puzzles, balls, jump ropes, building blocks & paint brushes. Likewise, a box that is stocked specifically with educational toys for crèches can be purchased locally for R1590 (£150 ) through a South African charity, the Faranani Trust, which specializes in training rural crèche educators.
