Our Projects
Our mission is to foster greater opportunities for vulnerable children to play, learn, and develop while preserving local culture.
During two projects, we brought together different schools in local villages, for competitive exercises that were athletic, intellectual, and performances.
During two projects, we served a refugee camp and a remote village impacted by Covid-19.
We focused on bringing play to HIV orphans who frequently spent their non-school hours working in underground mines.
During two projects, we focused on mask-making and dance, two aspects that are central to Haiti’s culture.
Partnered with locals to reintroduce children to play, creative activities and traditional games in areas impacted by conflict.
