About the organization

With a first line of veggie-themed stuffed toys with names like Manny Pakwan, Jessica Saging or Pan Talong, Plush and Play is delighting and educating little ones and older, as well as providing a sustainable livelihood that allows their fellow kids in Bulacan to eat and go to school every day.

All Plush and Play toys are hypoallergenic and made from non-toxic and environmentally friendly materials.

What makes it a social enterprise?

Plush and Play aims to become the first global toy company offering safe, environmentally-friendly and educational toys for Filipinos and the world, manufactured by community partners in traditionally underprivileged and low-income areas to generate secured sources of income.

The organization emerged out of Gawad Kalinga’s Enchanted Farm, which serves as a village university, social tourism destination, and incubator of social enterprises. By supporting Plush and Play, you will support Gawad Kalinga - an organization committed to achieving its 2024 goal of ending poverty by providing housing, creating sustainable livelihoods, and developing uniquely Filipino social enterprises that will transform rural villages into strong and lasting communities.
