Green Valley – Plettenberg Bay

The Green Valley community is perched above Wittedrift village, 12km from Plettenberg Bay. Due to a fortunate post-Apartheid twist of fate, most locals here own their properties, and as a result, the community is generally more stable than a lot of other townships. 
 
In the case of Toy Project, we had the good fortune of stumbling across an existing local sewing group who were working out of a garage. From the outset it was a hand-in-glove match: Toy Project had the product and the marketing platform, the ladies of Green Valley had the skill and motivation – but at the time no real product to speak of. 
 
The subsequent partnership with our lively ‘Ya-Ya Sisterhood’ has grown from strength to strength, with more than 15 women now in the ranks producing a highly sellable product for Toy Project.
