About us
PLAY. It’s at the heart of everything we do. It educates, empowers and protects girls and boys, allowing them to be successful in their own learning and development, and prepares them for their future. We believe in a future for every child driven by opportunity, empowerment and possibility. With programming in over 18 countries, we transform the lives of more than one million children each week inside and outside of the classroom. In addition to our work with children, we advocate with parents, local communities, and governments to advance the fundamental rights of all children. Right To Play is headquartered in Toronto, Canada with programs in Africa and Asia, the Middle East and North America in both development and humanitarian contexts.
