Who we are

---

Play 4 Development (P4D) is a non-profit  organization that promotes youth development through sport by improving  recreational facilities in low-income areas.

In  the last decade, organizations such as the UN, non-governmental  organizations (NGOs), government development agencies, sports  federations, armed forces and the media have increasingly recognized and used sport as a low-cost and  high-impact tool in humanitarian, development and peace-building  efforts. However, the lack of safe and adequate sport and recreational  facilities has presented significant challenges in the execution of such  programs.

Play  4 Development recognizes that sport can no longer be considered a  luxury within any society but is rather an important investment in the  present and future, particularly in developing countries. With this goal  in mind, P4D plays a major role in the building and re-designing of  recreational zones, in low-income schools, parks, and local plazas, so  that the youth can have a safe place to play and take advantage of the  educational programs run in such facilities.
