This summer I'm really excited to be working alongside an incredible team and local community in Uganda to transform an empty field at a school into a vibrant playground. Play is essential for children’s learning, development, and well-being, and this project is part of a larger effort to create safe and engaging spaces for these children.

Through Play Action International, we’re supporting local initiatives that have already been making a difference. By working together, we can help create a space where children can develop essential skills, build confidence, and enjoy the childhood they deserve.

Playgrounds and play programmes bring about remarkable changes, improving future prospects:

- 98% of schools report increase in pupil attendance.

- 74% of children give 'The Playground' as a reason to attend school.

- 83% of teachers report improvements in children's attention and behaviour in classes.

-Studies show a strong positive correlation between children who develop through play and future earnings.

Please consider donating as any amount will play a key role towards supporting our fundraisers. This will help to ensure these amazing projects can happen, and that every swing, slide, and moment of fun in the classroom contributes to a brighter future for these children at school and in the wider community. Any donations will be massively appreciated! ❤️🫶
