NEPT’s Playground Project: Learning Through Play

NEPT’s Playground Project transforms schools in Tanzania’s Ngorongoro District by constructing safe, engaging play spaces that promote learning through play. Recognizing that play is vital for childhood development, these playgrounds help improve student behavior, social skills, and academic engagement. Many rural schools lack recreational facilities, leaving children without structured outlets for energy and creativity. By installing swings, slides, and open play areas, NEPT encourages active learning while reducing classroom disruptions. Teachers report better concentration and teamwork among students, fostering a more positive school environment. This initiative not only supports physical and cognitive growth but also brings joy to children’s daily education, making school a place where they can thrive.
