Children living in poverty are nearly 30% more likely to drop out of school before High School graduation. The glaring reason so many children drop out of school is due to the fact that poverty stricken children started school already behind their peers when they enter the public school system in Kindergarten. These children lack the essential tools to intellectually grow prior to public school education. Boxed Turtle Toys is aiming to put developmental toys in the hands of these children.
Boxed Turtle is a toy company driven to end poverty through infant and toddler developmental toys by donating a toy to a child in need living in poverty with every regular purchase. Boxed Turtle is a grassroots start-up using crowd funding to make this goal a reality. Through their indiegogo.com campaign, the family based company is striving to meet their demands and to begin to supply children in need. Go to www.indiegogo.com to make this dream of ridding of poverty a reality. The only way out of poverty is through education.
