Welcome to the International Childhood Enrichment Program
"Through play, children gain vital social, emotional, and physical skills, contributing to their overall healthy development. Play enhances children's well-being through spontaneous feelings of joy and happiness. Right to Play, in a partnership with the United Nations, proclaims that play is a universal and inalienable right of childhood through which children develop both physically and psycho-socially, while communities grow stronger."
David B. Jones, EdD, CTRS, Associate Professor, Department of Recreational & Leisure Studies, University of Southern Maine
The mission of International Childhood Enrichment Program (ICEP) is to provide safe playground environments for children living at the edge of the world. They live everyday in countries poised at the abyss with few resources other than those for basic food, clothing, and shelter.
You can learn more about the area and the children's needs in Haiti or Afghanistan, where ICEP is currently represented. Please join us in building a playground in the country of your choice. If you'd like to make a small contribution or build an entire playground, you may do so on this site by clicking the name of the country! Your name can be associated as a donor with a particular playground or you can choose to remain anonymous. In any case, we are grateful for your interest and will hope you will continue to follow the progress on our site. If you become a donor, you will truly be making a difference in a vulnerable part of the world for the children living there.
