Together We Can Make a Difference
WE CAN INSPIRE CHILDREN TO REACH THEIR MAXIMUM POTENTIAL
Who We Are.
Joy is our ethos. We deliver toys and school supplies to impoverished children around the world. We believe every child deserves to play and to obtain a quality education.
Our Mission
Our mission is bring joy and education to underprivileged children in Africa and around the world. We believe educational access is critical to create opportunities for children to grow and succeed.
Our Vision
Our vision is to empower children to break the cycle of poverty and to lead joyful lives. We accomplish this by increasing children’s access to educational materials and building schools.
“In a world where there are many things we cannot change, we found something we can.”
What We Do.
We deliver joy to children, increase their access to educational materials, build schools, and inspire hope. Our goal is to enable children to succeed, regardless of their birthplace or socioeconomic status. Every child deserves this opportunity.
Deliver toys.
We bring toys, games, stuffed animals, soccer balls, and more to the poorest places in the world. We visit children living in remote villages, slums, and orphanages to bring them joy and give them the right to be a child.
Build schools.
We plan to build schools in remote villages in Africa to enable every child to stay in school. Africa has the highest rates of educational exclusion in the world. We believe children, including girls, should finish their education.
Educate.
We deliver books, pencils, crayons, school supplies, and other essentials to ensure that the children we support have access to educational materials. We lead workshops to teach children and families professional and life skills.
Inspire hope.
We inspire hope for children living in the poorest conditions in the world. When we bring joy and create opportunities for these children, we remind them of their worth and empower them to achieve their maximum potential.
Our Impact.
We believe in creating sustainable change. We believe education can empower a child to break the cycle of poverty. We teach children and families professional and life skills so they can support themselves and keep their children in school.
