Challenge

There are 24,000 children in Azraq refugee camp, with no access to any playground. There is no space for the children to get together, to be kids, and to feel normal. Right now children dealing with suffering, loneliness, and resentment.

Solution

This fund will be used by The Power Of Play Charity, to build an accessible playground to support children's mental health. Children will have a space to be kids again, to connect, and experience joy. Play support children's mental health, helps them regulate their emotion, and make sense of their surroundings. At The Power Of Play we have built playground in 15 countries and impacted over 52,000 children's life. We have scene first hand how play transforms children.

Long-Term Impact

This playground will last 11 to 12 years with minor maintenance. This will be a space for children to come day after day and get a glimpse of normalcy. Through out its life cycle this playground will impact close to 3,000 children's lives.
