United Playground's Mission Statement: Our mission is to encourage, educate and help you to become volunteers in schools in Africa. Here at United Playground we take a holistic approach to volunteering. Extremely important to us is our volunteers experience whilst out in Africa. We want them to be able to communicate with us and our African representatives in order to feel safe and secure. We encourage and welcome all feedback so that we can use this knowledge to improve the experiences of future volunteers. Just as important is the education and sustainability of the communities we place them in. We put a lot of time and money into building relationships with the schools we work with. Whether it's sending them much needed supplies or simply offering advice.
