From Tree Branches to Safe Swings: The Power of Our New Playground in Rural Rwanda

This story highlights the transformative impact of a new playground built by Move Up Global in rural Rwanda, near the Volcanoes National Park. Previously, children had no access to safe play areas and resorted to swinging on tree branches, often resulting in injuries. The new playground, equipped with swings and slides, not only provides a safe space for physical activity but also encourages school attendance and enhances educational outcomes.
