Survival is not enough.
It’s easy to think that if a child has food and shelter, they are "fine."
But we know that’s not true. Food keeps you alive. Play makes you human.
We launched this campaign for The Power of Play because we realized that while aid organizations do incredible work keeping bodies safe, someone needs to fight for the spirit.
Trauma steals childhood. It forces kids to grow up too fast. It tells them the world is dangerous and they have no control.
A playground reverses that. A slide teaches them gravity is fun, not scary. A swing teaches them they can fly. A game with friends teaches them trust.
This is our "Why." We are doing this because every child deserves the right to a childhood, not just a survival strategy.
We are 88% of the way to our fundraising goal. Help us finish the job: https://www.globalgiving.org/fundraisers/tripwire/
