Your Gift Builds Something Real
Every dollar you give rescues a playground from a U.S. demolition site and puts it where children have never had a safe place to run, climb, or simply be kids.
101 Playgrounds. 19 Countries. Thousands of Smiles.
Play Is Not a Luxury. It's a Right.
Why Your Gift Matters
In the United States, playgrounds are replaced on a regular cycle — perfectly functional equipment destined for a landfill. Meanwhile, in communities across Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, children grow up without a single safe place to run, climb, or simply be kids.
Project Playground bridges that gap. We deconstruct, restore, ship, and rebuild those playgrounds — at roughly 1/15th the cost of new equipment. Every dollar you give goes further than you might imagine: a full playground installation can be completed for what a single piece of new equipment would cost elsewhere.
The children who greet our build teams have often never seen a swing, a slide, or a climbing structure. On installation day, that changes forever. The playground becomes the heart of the community — a place where childhood happens, friendships form, and families gather for years to come.

Give $50$500
Half a Playground
Funds materials and freight for one full installation section — slides, climbing structures, and connecting platforms. Half a playground changes a child's entire world.
Give $500$5,000
Full Build
Funds a complete installation: equipment, international freight, site preparation, and volunteer support. Your name could be on the playground that opens a community's eyes to what's possible.
