About the right to play, education and normalcy in Gaza.

Right To Play is an international organisation that harnesses the power of play to protect, educate and empower children growing up in poverty, or fleeing war and violence. Think of children in refugee camps in Lebanon and Gaza, or countries like Uganda and Ghana: places where play is far from guaranteed, yet more vital than ever. Through their play-based learning programmes, they help these children thrive in school, process trauma, and rebuild a sense of normalcy.
