Rare Bears is a social enterprise linked to Rare Diseases South Africa NPC. Community women in Johannesburg are trained to crochet beautiful handcrafted bears, providing them with meaningful income while the bears support newly diagnosed rare disease patients through the Care4Rare programme.

Started in 2015, the project blends craft skills, community upliftment, and patient support in the most heartwarming way. Each bear purchased helps sustain both the crafter and the cause. Browse Rare Bears in our baby collection — a gift with genuine purpose, perfect for baby gifts or just because.
