Toybox Giving

Share joy this Christmas

This festive season, Jurang is pledging to donate all profits from our Christmas products to Toybox, a charity committed to changing the world for street children.

For every bag of our Christmas blend and every Christmas gift set sold, all of the profit goes towards the Toybox vision of a just world with no street children.

You can visit their website www.toybox.co.uk to find out more.

This cause is close to our hearts, and we are beyond excited to see how much we can raise. We hope you join us and share joy this Christmas.

Here at Jurang, we’ve always been passionate about giving. Jurang was created out of a heart to make sure that great coffee is great for everyone – we have championed direct trade for coffee farmers, always chosen fairtrade products and have committed to consistently give a portion of our profits back to farming communities.

We now, excitingly, have the opportunity to also increase our giving through the festive season, and have committed to donating all the profits from our Christmas products to an amazing charity – Toybox.

Toybox has been working for over 30 years with children who are living and working on the streets. This is a massive issue. Hundreds of millions of children are living on the streets around the world – as a direct symptom of their plight, exact numbers are unknown as these children are often invisible in terms of rights, protection and legal documents.

Some children are forced to the streets as the only way to earn an income, some as a result of natural disasters, others having fled homes full of abuse and some as a result of being sold or trafficked. Every story is full of pain, injustice and poverty – and means that these precious children are subject to stigmatisation, abuse and violence on a daily basis on some of most dangerous streets in the world.

Toybox seeks to bring hope into the most dark situations and is committed to their vision to see a just world with no street children. Originating in South America, they currently work in six countries where they partner with local organisations to tailor their models to the specific needs of that area. Though each project is different, the key  areas are in prevention, intervention and reintegration, such as:

• Taking the time to build trust and long-term relationships with the children, who are understandably often transient, frightened and distrust authority
• Supporting children through the birth registration process to give them official identity and rights
• Giving access to primary health care, mental health support and legal services
• Helping children get into education
• Working with caregivers to change attitudes towards education and helping with income so children are not required to work.
• Improving community responsibility to break barriers and challenge the stigma that prevents street children from being treated with respect in school
• Work with schools to provide training on child protection/rights/positive discipline methods.
• Courses on basic life and social skills

Through these initiatives and many more, Toybox has transformed the lives of 12,000 children, young people and their families in the last year. 12,000!

At Jurang, we love the work they do and want to join them in changing more lives – and that’s where you come in…

This festive season, we are introducing our Christmas blend and our Christmas gift sets, which include the Christmas blend, our own Hot Chocolate and lot of other goodies to have the perfect cosy cuppa!

All of the profits we make on these items will go straight to Toybox. We are so thrilled to be able to do this and hope that it gives you that extra motivation to get involved knowing that it is going to such a worthy cause.

From all of us at Jurang, we wish you a very merry Christmas and thank you so much for your support.
