In response to a request for Sunshine Association to facilitate a mobile Toy Library for the crèches in the Johannesburg Inner City a partnership was established between the Sunshine Association and the Human Development Department of the City of Johannesburg.
Approximately 100 crèches were identified by the Department. Most of the children are from deprived circumstances and do not have toys at home to encourage play.
