Circle of Toys
Children should grow and explore the world through play and also know that dreams come true. If it's a dream of a toy, it can easily turn into reality.
About the Project
The Circle of Toys project was created by the Find Refuge social media of help so that children from all over the world could pass along their toys to others. This project is not only about spreading joy and kindness but also offers an opportunity for toys that were once loved but are no longer needed to find new little owners. Additionally, the project aims to foster empathy skills among children and teach them to be environmentally friendly.
Our Values
Charity
Doing good deeds is important. We want to make the world better by bringing people together in a meaningful way. Moreover, we set a positive example for children by fostering kindness, generosity and empathy.
Sustainability
The toy market is the largest consumer of plastic in the world. According to Yale University, approximately 80% of toys end up in landfills every year, polluting the environment. Sharing toys is a way of caring for the future of our planet.
Cyclicity
Children grow up fast, and what is their favourite toy today may become unwanted tomorrow. Sharing toys means sharing joy and fulfilling someone's cherished dreams.
