How we Help?
The Foundation helps those aspiring to set up a toy/ game library by guiding them from the moment of conception to the moment of delivery. To begin with, it advises on what to buy and where to buy and why to buy. It acts as a go between the manufacturer and buyer of toys / games, ensuring the best bargain value for money. Then it provides the necessary training to a core group of volunteers on how to run the library in a professional fashion. Wherever possible , it helps out in repairing and replacing damaged toys and raising funds from individual philanthropists, charitable trusts, social welfare organisations, etc, so that the library is on a sound footing.
