Mossel Bay APD - Christmas Gift Box

Your Support Matters

A Little Box

A Big Christmas Smile

Help us bring Christmas joy to 50 children with disabilities in Mossel Bay

This Christmas, Mossel Bay APD invites individuals, families, churches, schools and businesses to help make the festive season special for children attending our iLitha Lethu Special Day Care,and children receiving care at home through our Respite Care service.

Each child has different needs, abilities and interests. That is why we want to focus on gifts that bring enjoyment, encourage play and offer opportunities for sensory exploration.

These are not ordinary gift boxes filled with everyday necessities. They are Christmas presents chosen to make children smile. Every child deserves to feel valued, included and remembered.

What Goes Into a Gift Box?

We are working with a budget of R300 per child, which includes a gift and treats.

Our suggested gifts include:

Balls in different sizes, colours and textures
Building blocks and stacking toys
Educational wooden puzzles featuring shapes, body parts and fruit
Toy mobile phones
Sensory and textured books
Toy cars
Dolls
Other suitable toys selected with the children's abilities and enjoyment in mind

Each box will also include suitable treats to make the gift extra special.

The final combination of gifts and treats will depend on availability, suitability and the needs of the children.

Gift ideas

We welcome new, safe and age-appropriate gifts.

Each child is unique, so please consider their abilities, interests and sensory needs when choosing a gift.

Wooden puzzles, shape sorters and building blocks.
