Right To Play is a global organisation that protects, educates and empowers children to rise above adversity using

children last year to stay in school and out of work, to prevent life-threatening diseases like HIV and malaria and

to stay safe from exploitation and abuse. We are the only global development organization focused exclusively on

using play to transform the lives of children and youth impacted by poverty, war, disease and inequality.

Established in 2000, Right To Play reaches children through experiential programming in 15 countries in Africa,

Asia, the Middle East, and North America. These programs are supported by our headquarters in Toronto, Canada;
London, UK and eight national offices across Europe (Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland,

UK) and North America (Canada, US).
