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.

#AidWorks Investing in children is investing in our future. Aid plays a crucial role in supporting the well-being and development of children worldwide. It bridges the gap between need and opportunity, ensuring that vulnerable children have access to education, healthcare, and protection. Over 25 years we've empowered more than 70,000 Junior Leaders, many of whom have become community leaders, nurses, coaches, teachers, and human rights activists. By investing in aid, we help children pursue their education and become resilient, confident adults, creating sustainable change across generations. Join us and help protect, educate, and empower children. #PowerOfPlay #RightToPlay

As a Co-Chairs of the Canadian International Education Policy Working Group, Right To Play is proud to support the campaign to get education for peace on the #G72025 agenda. Education is one of the most important investments we can make toward building a more stable and prosperous world. When children and young people have access to education, it can unlock the skills, knowledge, and opportunities they need to become co-creators of constructive solutions for a more hopeful future. Education - including play-based learning - can foster inclusion and safety through curriculum that emphasizes wellbeing, empathy, problem-solving, and collaboration. Education gives hope to young people who might otherwise be at risk of poverty and can help to break multi-generational cycles of violence. Education fosters critical thinking and civic participation, so children grow up to be leaders and create positive change in their communities and countries. In an increasingly unstable world, Canada can lead with purpose and impact. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eQPF3Vuh

Play is more than just fun—it's a lifeline for children's health and wellness. When children play, they’re able to process trauma, manage complex emotions, and build resilience. This is especially critical in times of crisis. Over 25 years, we've seen firsthand how play transforms lives by supporting emotional well-being and education. The need for aid is urgent—support play opportunities for children who need it most. #AidWorks #PowerOfPlay #RightToPlay #ProtectEducateEmpower
