As part of GD-Merchants Limited’s portfolio, we developed a specialized e-commerce platform for Autism Toys Organization, launched in 2023 with the mission to transform the lives of autistic children in Kenya by supporting their sensory development, communication, and social interaction. This platform is not just another toy store but a vital resource for parents, caregivers, and educators seeking autism-specific tools to aid in children’s unique developmental journeys. Offering more than just toys, the platform provides therapist-tested solutions that empower children to navigate the world with greater confidence. Owned and operated by individuals with personal and professional connections to autism—whether as parents, siblings, therapists, or individuals on the spectrum—Autism Toys Organization combines lived experience with expert knowledge to curate a wide range of resources. These include educational materials, sensory equipment, social skills activities, high-interest toys, books, safety gadgets, and biomedical supplements, all carefully selected to enhance a child’s ability to learn, communicate, and interact. The platform ensures these resources are accessible at reasonable prices, helping more families gain access to tools that make a meaningful impact. With a commitment to creating opportunities for growth and joy, this platform serves as a one-stop shop for those dedicated to supporting autistic children, whether at home or in the classroom, driving a brighter future for autism care in Kenya.
