Nthabiseng, a 12-year-old from Johannesburg, grew up in a community where safe play spaces were rare. Without access to toys or books at home, she struggled to express herself and lacked confidence in social situations.

Everything changed when she discovered the Gogo Care Foundation's Toy Lending Library. For the first time, she had access to a variety of educational toys, books, and creative play activities. Through play, she not only developed problem-solving skills but also found joy in storytelling and art.

The once-shy Nthabiseng started to make new friends, share ideas, and explore her creativity with confidence. Today, she dreams of becoming a teacher so she can inspire other children to learn through play.

Every child deserves the chance to learn and grow in a safe environment. Join us in making play accessible for all!
