Saturday 13th June is World Wellness Day.

To mark this day, we give thanks for the way our partner in Bolivia is promoting mental health through sport and art, among children and young people living on the streets.

These activities create safe spaces where they can play, share and express themselves freely, channelling emotions and reducing stress in a positive way. In addition, the painting of a mural allowed the children to express their experiences and strengthen their emotional well-being through the use of colour, shapes and symbols.

Thank you, Alalay 🙌

Today is World Environment Day 🌍

Climate change will affect us all, but the most vulnerable in society will be most affected. For street children, these challenges make their lives even tougher.

In places like Dandora, Kenya, large unregulated landfills sit beside people's homes, polluting the environment and threatening health.

Small initiatives are making a big difference, but there is still so much work to be done.

With your support, we’ve been able to help street children face these climate-related emergencies and hold onto hope. Thanks to your generosity, and to our partners, we’ve provided heat kits, clothing, hygiene supplies, emergency food baskets, and workshops to equip them for the future.

On behalf of Team Toybox, our partners and of course the children we support, thank you for making a difference! 🙏

Welcome to our latest edition of our Street Life magazine!

Here is what the project participants in Bolivia, who are behind this edition, have to say...

"Even though we are on the streets, we have feelings, responsibilities and dreams. The message we want to share is: please don't forget about us.

Sometimes we feel invisible. We do not always need money or clothes; often what we need most is for someone to listen to us and see us as people.

We want you to learn to look beyond what you see on the outside. It is possible to get off the streets if you do your part and if someone gives you a chance."

You can read their stories in the latest edition.

Every child deserves safety, stability, and the chance to thrive.

This week is Child Safety Week 2026, with the theme being "Making prevention possible".

We recognise how early support can change the course of a child’s life.

Vulnerable children and families sometimes need help. Toybox supports projects where the child or family are in danger of becoming reliant on the street. It is easier to help a child before they become deeply dependent to the street meaning our chances of keeping children off the streets are much higher.

To have the greatest impact on every level, we work with street children in three separate stages of their journey: prevention, intervention, and reintegration.

Celebrating ongoing birth registration work in Guatemala. 🙌

Over a recent three-month period our partner CONACMI held three registration sessions. As a result of these sessions 170 children went through the process of late registration and their right to identity was restored.

During this process CONACMI works closely with RENAP, the government department for national registry in Guatemala, and we give thanks for this partnership.

Every girl deserves dignity, education, and safe access to menstrual care.

Thanks to your support, we were able to raise over £77,000 for young women and girls. Thousands of young women and girls can now manage their periods with confidence and dignity. But the work continues...

We will continue to work tirelessly to provide period packs, education, and support to girls and young women facing period poverty.

We believe that everyone should have access to safe menstrual hygiene products when they need them.

Help us to make that happen. Donate today from just £5. https://pulse.ly/fh2ahu9v7n

This week we give thanks that Café77, a social enterprise initiative run by SathSath in Nepal, is now fully operative.

It is a space where young people who are connected to the streets can gain skills, earn an income, and work towards a brighter future.

As well as serving food and drink, there is also a crafts corner, selling handmade crafts that were made by former street children, offering them a valuable source of income.

We pray that this café may be successful and be a starting point for the young people who will help them change their lives for the better. 🙏

Tavian faced discrimination during her period.

Through Toybox partner Pendekezo Letu, Tavian began attending outreach and sexual and reproductive health and rights sessions.

Tavian gained knowledge about her rights, felt support from the team and also received sanitary pads. She learned how to manage her period safely and with dignity.

She now supports other girls too. “The sessions have enabled me to train other girls in my community and caution them to not laugh or embarrass other girls while on their periods.”

Your support makes this possible. Give a period pack to help us donate more period packs, education and support.

Donate today. https://pulse.ly/gj3wcrexpo
