FINALIST 2025
Children’s right to play is a fundamental human right, enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), and play is critically important for children’s learning, development and wellbeing. However, millions of children globally do not have the opportunity to play and claim this basic right due to the impact of poverty, conflict, displacement and other extreme challenges.
Are You With Us? is a call to support Right To Play’s work transforming the lives of millions of children around the world through the power of play. It is a rallying cry for global action to ensure that no child is denied this essential right.
Right To Play is a global organisation that protects, educates, and empowers children to rise above adversity through the power of play. We work with children in some of the most difficult places on earth, helping them to stay in school, resist exploitation, overcome prejudice, and heal from the trauma of war and displacement.
For 25 years, we have delivered programmes with impact in both development and humanitarian contexts. As pioneers in a unique approach to learning, both inside and outside of the classroom, we harness play, one of the most fundamental forces in a child’s life, to help children dismantle barriers and embrace opportunities. We are a leading global development organisation focused exclusively on using the power of play to transform children’s lives.
We reach millions of children each year in 14 countries around the world. In 2023, Right To Play made a life-changing difference to more than 5.6 million children globally. By collaborating with teachers, governments, communities, and parents, we help children unlock their potential, and create better futures for themselves, their families, and their societies.
