My story:

My name is Luke and I seek your help. This summer I will be fulfilling a life long dream of adventure and helping others by volunteering for a month in rural Kenya. Here, with other members of the PAI team, I will work with disadvantaged communities by building playgrounds for the local youth during my summer break from university. Through such work, I aim to improve the lives of those who are less fortunate than myself while also experiencing the unique culture of East Africa. However, in-order for this trip to happen, I must fundraise £1850 for the charity I'm working for. All donations, whether small or large will have a transformative impact on the lives of people and the communities of East Africa. The fundraising element will not only transform the lives of many but make this dream of mine possible. I am highly grateful to any support and so will the communities where your donation will positively impact.

From Play Action International:

Our awesome and dedicated team of volunteers will be heading to Kenya in summer 2025! We will be transforming an empty field at a local school into a vibrant playground so that children can access a childhood!

Your generous support will enable Play Action International to create a legacy of play within the local community where so that we can create an environment where children's development and well-being are supported and children are able to learn essential skills that will allow them to reach their potential. Join us in creating a legacy of play, laughter, growth, and endless possibilities.

Our playgrounds and play programmes bring about remarkable changes:

- 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.

Donate to play a key role in supporting our fundraisers to ensure these amazing projects can happen, ensuring that every swing, slide, and moment of fun in the classroom contributes to a brighter future for disadvantaged children at school and in the wider community. We're incredibly grateful for your support!
