Sleeping Children Around the World provides bedkits to children in need, 50% girls and 50% boys, between the ages of 6 and 12, regardless of race, religion, national or ethnic origin, colour, gender, or physical or mental disability.

Bedkits are manufactured or purchased overseas by our Overseas Volunteer Partners (OVPs) - local organizations and individuals - who use their knowledge and expertise to pick the best bedkit items for the children living in that area. Producing bedkits locally provides additional benefits such as employment for dozens of workers, virtually no transportation costs, and strengthened communities.

Sleeping Children Around the World has helped more than 1.7 million children in 36 countries experience healthy sleep through the gift of a bedkit.

"Sleep is like magical fuel for children. It has the power to make them feel better, think better and play better. Let's give the magic of sleep to every child every night." - Dr. Reut Gruber, PhD Psychologist
