Harnessing the Power of Play in at-Risk Communities
Play is critical for children’s psychological as well as physical development – even more so for children that experience elevated stress.
Yet, play spaces are oftentimes the most underdeveloped in places where such children congregate – children’s homes and disaster zones.
We are commited to changing that.
