Bringing joy to underprivileged children through the gift of play. Because every child deserves the happiness of having toys to call their own.
Play is essential for a child's development—it nurtures creativity, builds social skills, and brings pure joy. Yet millions of children from underprivileged backgrounds have never owned a toy. Our Toy Bank collects new and gently used toys to distribute to children who need them most, spreading smiles one toy at a time.

“I never had a toy before. When they gave me my doll, I couldn't stop smiling. I named her Rani and she sleeps next to me every night. Thank you for making me so happy!”- Priya, Age 6
“My kids outgrew their toys and I didn't want to just throw them away. ISTA Foundation made it easy to donate, and knowing that another child is now playing with them makes our family happy.”- Sunita Sharma, Donor
