A quarter of the kids that come to Tiny Toones have never been to school. The rest often find they can't afford the fees or have to help support their families instead. Some are already working by the time they're five years old. They come to Tiny Toones because it's fun, creative and free.
With your help we can give them the education that they deserve.
