Children are too full of life to be confined by just letters and numbers, and going beyond basic literacy and numeracy is the need of the hour in an ever-evolving world.

Our planet heralded the emergence of a ‘new normal’ as norms of living got redefined. But the childhood pandemic that denies children their Right to Play has barely waned.

Children know no malice – unacquainted as they are with the biases of religion, caste, race, or class.

Toybank is a journey we embarked on — to give every child in the world a toy to play with — 15 years ago. As we reach this significant milestone, our heart is brimming with not only pride for touching the lives of tens of thousands of children but also immense gratitude towards those who have helped us every step of the way to get here.
