IKEA
For every IKEA soft toy purchased, the international IKEA Foundation will donate €1 to fund education programmes supported by UNICEF and Save the Children.

These toys will go towards their celebrations and monthly birthday parties.

World Wide Fund for Nature
How about doing something special for our little friends? Adopt-a-baby turtle hatchling this Christmas! The turtle population is at an all-time low, so give this critically endangered species the support it needs by donating SG$30 to adopt one hatchling, or SG$250 to adopt a nest of them, where WWF can look after and care for them onsite.
