We're just a group of ordinary people who believe that children everywhere have the right to be just that – children.
Our focus is children and childhood. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we have now funded seven playgrounds and more are planned.

WHY PLAYGROUNDS?
Playgrounds support creativity and learning, promote physical and mental health, bring families together, deter children from playing in unsafe areas, provide a place that is only about play, and, of course, friendships are fun! |

WHY PALESTINE?
"UNICEF estimates that at least 373,000 children (nearly half of Gaza’s children) need specialised psychosocial support. Gaza’s children have been condemned, through no fault of their own, to a future without hope." Lord Warner, House of Lords. July 2016 |
