The BPN group has always believed in working for varied social causes, and constantly strive to contribute; well being, betterment and value to our society. We are committed to Build a Progressive Nation and the thought always begins with enhancing the quality of child rearing and positive childhood experiences. Taking this initiative ahead, we are happy to collaborate with The Toy Bank in their endeavor for children and their…….right to play.

We periodically carry out collection drives in various private schools, housing complexes and corporate houses.
House Hold Collection: We gather used and unused toys through our dropping centres spread across India. These are homes or offices of volunteers who have offered a small place in their premises for collecting toys.
Collection Drives: We periodically carry out collection drives in various private schools, housing complexes and corporate houses.
.
The toys that are collected through the collection centres and collection drives in schools and corporates are then refurbished and repackaged into age-graded toy kits and re-distributed to villages in rural and tribal areas to create toy libraries.
Ask any member, volunteer or supporter of The Toy Bank and everyone will tell you that distribution is their favorite activity. We all look forward for the distribution day. Witnessing happiness on each child’s face after receiving the toys is a moving experience. The toys are dispatched to Schools, Anganwadis, Shelter Homes, Orphanages, Educational Centres etc. as requested to us by organisations or individuals. In each of these structures, we create toy libraries for children to come in and play!
Stories of Change
“I have been playing with the board games because these toys have made me feel that I am not the deprived one. If, I can have toys which the rich city children can have then I can also do what they achieve in life. I am not born to be trafficked or be a daily wage labourer” – 12 year old girl, Jaunha Village, Jharkhand
