The Opentree Foundation (Project: Toybank  Development Through Play) Toybank — Development Through Play is the flagship project of Mumbai-based non-profit The Opentree Foundation, which was founded in 2004. Toybank creates safe spaces for at-risk children with a focus of mainstreaming play-based learning in India. We adopt a Conscious Play™ approach to enable children from vulnerable communities to alleviate stress, build resilience and overcome probable adversity. Through the Conscious Play™ approach, the programmes focus on children's critical thinking, communication, and socio-emotional learning. We set up play centres in partnership with Nonprofit Organisations, Community-Based Organisations, government and low-income semi-government schools, and government and non-government CICs (Child in Institutional Care). Through advocating for the Right to Play, we aim to bring about a change at the policy level to make Play an integral part of children’s learning. Currently, Toybank works with 77,000+ children, across 623 play centres in seven districts of Maharashtra, India.
