The Joy of Play Project

A twice-weekly playgroup in a Kampala slum giving pre-school children a safe space to access toys and food — and just be children — funded by R.E.A.CH and run by our representative Ronald Kamoga.

Our Joy of Play project was initiated in 2023 and operates in one of Kampala’s slum areas. This playgroup project runs twice a week and provides a safe space for pre-school age children to access toys and food, allowing them to just be a child for a few hours each week. The children attending are some of the most vulnerable in Uganda’s society. They have no toys of their own and may spend much of their time fending for themselves in the slum. We are so happy to be able to fund this playgroup and bring joy to these children.

This project is managed by our trusted representative, Ronald Kamoga. Ronald sends us regular reports, photos and videos. Follow us on Facebook to see the latest updates.
