Kids Play Rwanda

Since 2012, Kids Play International has used less familiar sports to promote gender equity by empowering youth and developing education, employability and mental strength skills to help them reach their full potential in the rural village of Gatagara, Rwanda.

Kids Play Cambodia

In 2018, Kids Play began Let's Play Fair Cambodia program in Ang Chagn Chass, as small rural village outside of Siem Reap. We now have 12 gender equity coaches leading sport for development programming to 105 players!
