Toybox - changing the world for street children. Our vision is of a just world with no street children. Our mission is to end the injustice of children living and working on the streets.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We're cycling Nightrider™ - a unique 100km moonlit ride past London’s iconic landmarks. See the web site www.nightrider.org.uk for more info.

We're raising money for Toybox - a charity which has been making a difference to the lives of street children in South America for some years. Your money will be directed to specific projects in Guatemala and Bolivia.

The Toybox street teams in Guatemala City and Bolivia are the first point of contact with children living and working on the streets. Providing food, first aid and friendship to street children suffering from poverty, abuse and neglect, the street teams bring hopeto the most vulnerable and overlooked inhabitants of Guatemala and Bolivia.

The street teams provide education to children living on the streets, which is crucial as most of them are not in school. The children receive resources and teaching to gain vital skills, enabling them to achieve a better future and break the cycle of poverty.

The street teams work to bring children off the streets and into safety. They reunite street children with their families where possible, find them places in Toybox-supported residential homes, or try to find them foster or adoptive families.

 

You can find stories of children helped by Toybox in Guatemala City and Bolivia on their website: http://www.toybox.org.uk/street-children/childrens-stories.aspx If you select Guatemala or Bolivia as your country there are lots of children’s stories you can choose from.
