Story
Why I'm volunteering:
I chose to volunteer for PAI as it is a once in a lifetime opportunity given from my university to go and strengthen my own skills and experience whilst immersing myself in a foreign culture and making a difference. PAI has great ethical values towards volunteering, as whilst it gives us a great experience, it provides local employment within Kenya through their apprenticeship scheme and recycling projects.
This project gives me the opportunity to make a big difference in disadvantaged communities as well as an amazing experience.
About Play Action International:
Our awesome and dedicated team of volunteers will be heading to Kenya in summer 2025! We will be transforming an empty field at a local school into a vibrant playground so that children can access a childhood!
Your generous support will enable Play Action International to create a legacy of play within the local community where so that we can create an environment where children's development and well-being are supported and children are able to learn essential skills that will allow them to reach their potential. Join us in creating a legacy of play, laughter, growth, and endless possibilities.
Our playgrounds and play programmes bring about remarkable changes:
- 98% of schools report increase in pupil attendance.
- 74% of children give 'The Playground' as a reason to attend school.
- 83% of teachers report improvements in children's attention and behaviour in classes.
Donate to play a key role in supporting our fundraisers to ensure these amazing projects can happen, ensuring that every swing, slide, and moment of fun in the classroom contributes to a brighter future for disadvantaged children at school and in the wider community. We're incredibly grateful for your support!
