East African Playgrounds (EAP) is a UK-based charity that sends out teams of volunteers from the UK and builds playgrounds for schools, orphanages, charities and other organisations in East Africa.
In realising this aim, EAP intends to:
- Provide an important space for children to be children and escape the stresses of life. This is in accordance with Article 31 of the United Nations ‘Convention on the Rights of the Child’, which states that children have the right “to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child”;
- Support local people and use locally-sourced materials;
- Enhance relationships between peoples and countries and develop our volunteers’ cultural understanding. We hope to facilitate experiences that will encourage our volunteers’ personal development.
