Children are amongst the most vulnerable people in the world. For many, their futures are limited by violence, child labour, 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.

We reach millions of children each year in some of the most difficult places on earth, helping them to stay in school and learn, overcome prejudice, heal from trauma, and develop the skills they need to thrive.

Play is one of the most transformative forces in a child’s life. But for too many children, play is out of reach. We harness the power of play to transform children’s lives.

Every day the children in our programs rise above challenges that rob them of their dignity, their promise and put them at risk. We honor these Uprisers.

Children like Ife, an advocate for the inclusion of deaf people in Ethiopian society.
