Fundraising for East Africa

Studying International Development, I understand the necessity of aid in helping the lives of those less fortunate.
So I ask a simple question:
Where would we be without the magic of play?
A playgrounds is like a classroom in disguise, children don't know their learning, they don't feeling like they are learning, but really they are taking in the whole world whilst playing with their friends.

Uganda Gorilla Trek Fundraising

As an Anthropology student, I am fascinated by the incredible history of humans and apes.
The incredible link between these is so important in order to help understand our own species but wild gorillas are under threat; all gorillas species are listed as critically endangered.
Help me conserve these beautiful animals and help us understand more about our own past by donating to my East African playgrounds fundraising page. Thank You!
Charlie’s volunteer project

I am fundraising for East African Playgrounds because of the inspiring work that they do to provide a better education for children. Enabling them to develop mentally and socially through play.

Who we are

East African Playgrounds is a UK registered charity and international NGO, focused on East Africa, primarily Uganda. Children need to play to access their childhood, allowing them to gain all the developmental benefits that play has to offer giving them the tools for future success.
Refugee settlements

Uganda hosts the fifth highest number of refugees in the world, with many refugee settlements across the country, including Bidi Bidi, the world's largest. By implementing our play and playground programme we can help children recover from their experiences using a language they understand - play.
Why play?

Play is the universal language of a child. Play is incredibly important for children’s learning, wellbeing and for healthy brain development – the UN includes the right to play in its Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most complete statement of children’s rights ever produced.
