Sleep Day
Have fun and raise awareness of the importance of healthy sleep by going to school or work in your pyjamas!
We encourage you to create a fun Sleep Day event at your school or work, with each person’s $2 (student) or $5 (corporate) donation supporting the purchase of bedkits for children living in challenging conditions in a developing country. 100% of your Sleep Day donation will provide bedkits for children, nurturing hope, joy and healthy sleep!
To support a country's local economy, bedkits are created in the country of distribution, and include important items integral to a child's wellbeing. Each $40 donation provides one bedkit consisting of: mat or mattress and bedding, mosquito net to prevent malaria, school supplies and clothing. Bedkit contents vary from country to country depending upon local needs.
The Sleep Education Resources (.pdf) and downloadable resources on our Pinterest page are available to help with your planning. Your participation is a simple yet impactful way to give children in equity-seeking communities a chance to thrive in challenging conditions.
