Children are amongst the most vulnerable people in the world. For many, their futures are limited by violence, child labor, early marriage, illiteracy and inequality. They fight to attend and stay in school, to be treated with dignity and respect and to be safe.

Right To Play empowers children to rise above these challenges and find their way back to hope.

It keeps children in school and out of work. It teaches them how to prevent life-threatening diseases like HIV and malaria and keep them safe from exploitation and abuse. It gives girls the power to say no to unwanted sex, and make healthy decisions about their bodies and their futures.

We are transforming the lives of millions of children each year. Using all forms of play - games, sport, poetry, performance, dance, art and music - we create lasting impact and empower children with the knowledge and skills to drive change in their lives, their families and their communities.

“We teach the other students in the club not to discriminate against children with disabilities using games,” says Siriyaki. “The members of this club set an example for other students with their behavior. We support them to build relationships with their peers, so that they won’t see themselves differently than the other children.”
