About East
African Playgrounds

We are passionate about play. We use innovative and effective play-based interventions to help children learn, heal and develop.

​

In 2009, we were struck by the lack of safe and fun play facilities for disadvantaged children and the potential impact on their well-being and development. Our Founders, Carla & Tom, were not going to let this pass them by without doing something about it!

Why Play?

Play in the early years of life has a profound and long-lasting impact on a child’s health, well-being, and long-term development.

What we do

We work in disadvantaged communities, focusing on enhancing children’s learning, development and access to education through play. We take an innovative child-centred approach to education and use the power of play to transform the lives of children through our play programmes.
