PLAYGROUNDS FOR THE WORLD promotes the right to play as something every child should enjoy. To this end, we organize sustainable playgrounds in places, where there are none- for needy children in some of the world's poorest neighborhoods. All playgrounds are built and maintained by local contractors using local employees. Thus, we both bring playgrounds to distressed communities and give those communities some much-needed economic stimulus. If we want to fight poverty in the long run, we need to strengthen children's rights.
Playgrounds are one critical way to create an alternative to the bleakness that defines so many poor neighborhoods. In cities with high,long-term unemployment playgrounds can provide kids an oasis, a place of joy, growth and cooperation instead of hopelessness and isolation.
Today, there are more than 2.2 billion children in the world. Nearly two billion live in developing countries. The situation faced by children in too many countries is still desperate. Our efforts are directed towards positive change, because to us every child matters!
