Childhood is in crisis.

Right now, millions of children are facing realities no one should have to face: war, poverty, climate disasters. They’re being forced from their homes. Separated from friends and family. And they’re losing the routines, safety, and sense of belonging that should define growing up.

But play can help change that.

Through play, children can regain what crisis takes away: opportunities to learn, grow, connect with others, and experience the moments that make childhood what it should be.

Your donation can help make play possible for children who need it most.

Here's What Your Donation Can Do

The need is enormous. And it's growing.

1 in 7 adolescents live with a mental health disorder, often without anyone there to help them cope. 272 million children and youth are out of school, missing not just lessons, but the friendships and confidence that come with them. And more than 48 million children have been displaced by conflict and violence, torn from the schools and communities that once anchored their lives.

Every one of these numbers is a child who needs a place to play. Your gift can be part of the reason they get one.
