East African Playgrounds East African Playgrounds is a Ugandan NGO that builds international standard
playgrounds for communities, schools and NGO’s across the whole of Uganda. We
believe that alongside education, children need access to play activities to reach
their full potential. We envisage a world where all children have access to areas
where they can explore, learn, develop and play.

Each playground element
OUR PLAYGROUNDS
We build high quality, safe and fun
playgrounds using locally sourced materials
in Uganda. With the help of the community
and our playground building team we create
spaces for children to explore, develop and
enjoy!
WHY PLAY
Child’s play is about exploring, learning, creating and inspiring
which in turn develops a whole child: physically, emotionally,
cognitively and socially. By providing an environment that
encourages unstructured play it encourages children to think for
themselves, make sense of the world and inspire one another.
SUPPORTING UGANDA
Our aim is to support people in East Africa and therefore we
invest the majority of our time, finances and effort into the East
African communities that we work with. The majority of the
materials are sourced locally and the focus is on employing East
African members of staff.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
From the moment a community applies for a playground we work
in partnership to design, prepare, build and maintain the
playgrounds. We work with active communities that are
passionate about play.

Be Creative

Discover the world
“Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide
range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities.”
- UN Convention of the rights of a child, 31
Create a new world “Children learn as they play. Most importantly children learn how to learn”
- Fred Donaldson
Planning your Playground We build over 130 different playground elements which enable us to
build a playground to suit your community and your budget.
DIVERSE PLAYGROUNDS
Every playground includes the six different areas of play to ensure your children
can access and benefit from the whole playground.
