The boxes are distributed to more than 1000 recipient facilities, through more than 60 satellites around South Africa and Namibia.

Children are provided access to toy library and playgroup programmes aimed at improving school readiness. The goal is to ensure that children have the required skills to excel when entering formal schooling and to develop holistically for their future success.
RED BELT MOVEMENT
Red Belt Movement is a social impact charity, located in South Africa, with the vision of reaching millions of girls across the African continent.
