This hand-made wooden Guruhman Kangaroo has been hand-painted with beautiful Indigenous designs by Indigenous Youth taking part in the ‘Toys Change lives’ workshop.

Operated in Casino, Northern NSW, ‘Toys Change Lives’ is a completely self-funded not-for-profit workshop with a difference. TCL is staffed by Indigenous youth who have been released from Juvenile Justice Detention Centres, or who have had a brush with the Justice System and are believed to be at risk. Re-offending is a massive problem in their community with around 75% of youth released from regional juvenile justice centres re-offending at least once in their future.

TCL has created a culturally meaningful employment pathway that is successfully reducing recidivism. A life put on the right track means one less youth in detention, one more youth being a healthy role-model to his peers, one more youth contributing their craft back to their culture and community.

Afends will be donating 100% of the sales from the toys back to TCL so they can continue to provide a brighter future for the Indigenous Youth. Toys really can change lives.
