Founded in 2009 by two University students, we’re proud to be in our 14th year working with Higher Education students! In this time, we have built over 420 playgrounds in East Africa, estimating to impact over 750,000 children! But play is just for fun, right? Wrong! Play is a fundamental building block to a child’s development and education. It gives children social, cognitive and physical skills to apply in everyday life. But most importantly, a playground gives a child a childhood. In East Africa, play is not seen as important – labour is the priority. Our playgrounds are built at hospitals to aid recovery, refugee settlements to act as spaces for emotional outlet, and at schools to introduce play as a fundamental part of education.
