Meet Rafiki Lion! The lion who will help fund our new school! 

'Rafiki Lion' is our first collaboration with O. B.Designs. When you purchase Rafiki Lion they will donate directly to us to help us cover the costs involved with our amazing new school.

We have been friends with the team at O.B.Designs for many years. They have sponsored our children and supported us in any way they could but watching us continue to fight and seeing the huge need ove in Kenya,  they wanted to do more. 

 So we got together and they custom designed a Toy Lion named Rafiki. 

Rafiki Lion Best Mate Plush Toys Australia

Each toy features a more detailed design and longer fabrics than our infant toy range. 

Best Mate toys have been thoroughly "kid-tested" for cuteness, huggability and snuggle factor! In fact, we handed over the reins to the year 5 kids at our local school in Byron Bay. As always, the kids were brutally honest and only the best made the cut.  

The kids also named and created each character's poem

The ‘Queen’s Castle’ now stands tall – ready to provide refuge and a future to 19 very vulnerable young girls, however we need so much more than walls and a roof. The time has come to call on you for a little more help, because we need to furnish the ‘Queen’s Castle’ before the girls can move in.

We’ve crunched the numbers, and what we need is $35,000 so that we can provide items like beds, bedding, mosquito nets, a fridge, cutlery, plates, towels and so much more so that these young Queens may be afforded the dignity that simple creature comforts like these provide. By taking care of these needs for them – the needs that most of us don’t even have to think twice about in our own lives - we can allow them to focus on themselves, and begin healing from the unimaginable trauma that has been burdened upon them.

Need further motivation?

We are eternally grateful for the awareness that you bring to our cause with every share, every click, and every cent you are kind enough to bid for us.

So we don’t want to ask you to donate for nothing. We know the feeling of helping these kids is immeasurable in dollars, we really do, but we’d love to give something back too.

This gorgeous painting created by artist Cat Lee was originally created for our recent Event in Byron. It was auctioned off to a lucky winner.  We have permission from both artist Cat Lee and the lucky winner to reproduce this print named ‘Malkia Mtoto’ (small queen) to raise funds for our home.

So, here’s what we’re thinking, you can donate towards furnishing the ‘Queen’s Castle’ and receive this print in return!

Donate $25 – you’ll get an A5 sized print of ‘Malkia Mtoto’

Donate $50 – you’ll get an A4 sized print of ‘Malkia Mtoto’

Donate $75 – you’ll get an A3 sized print of ‘Malkia Mtoto’

We will also send you a card to explain where the money has gone in case you are gifting this to someone!

If kids with anxiety could see themselves the way we see them, they would feel so much bigger than their anxiety. They would feel so much bigger than everything. ‘Hey Awesome’ explains how the same brain that can make them feel anxious sometimes, also comes with amazing strengths. It also includes powerful tips for children on how they can manage their anxiety. First we let them know how awesome they are, then we give them what they need to feel it for themselves.

The animals were mighty and magnificent, but they were miserable! For way too long, they’d been forced to become something that didn’t feel right – something that felt too much like bad days and scratchy things. The animals needed a hero – or someone to show them that a hero was in each of them all along.

‘But We’re Not Lions’ is a book about social resilience. It will help children understand the importance of boundaries, how to manage peer-pressure, and how to nurture the courage and power that comes with self-acceptance. Most importantly, it is a reminder for all kids that the very best thing about them, is them.
