RIGHT TO PLAY is the leading international humanitarian and development organization using the unique power of sport and play to build essential skills in children and thereby drive social change in communities affected by war, poverty, and disease. Right To Play creates a safe place for children to learn and fosters the hope that is essential for children to envision a better future. Programs target the most marginalized individuals including girls, persons with disabilities, children affected by HIV and AIDS, street children, former child combatants, and refugees.

What Right To Play Does: Working in both the humanitarian and development context, Right To Play trains local community leaders as coaches to deliver programs in 20 countries affected by war, poverty, and disease in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. The programs incorporate a unique methodology that uses sport and play as tools for learning in four developmental impact areas: (1) basic education and child development, (2) health promotion and disease prevention, (3) conflict resolution and peace building, and (4) community development and participation. The two guiding principles are inclusion, promoting the involvement of children marginalized for reasons of gender disability, ethnicity, social background or region, and sustainability, working with local organizations to ensure programs have a lasting impact.
