Transforming vulnerable lives in underserved communities through play-based learning.

For 26 years, we have impacted more than 200,000 beneficiaries in 19 countries by supporting the healing, education, and empowerment of children.

WWO's mission is to educate, heal, and empower children, by embedding trauma-informed, play-based programs in vulnerable communities across the globe.

WWO across the globe.

In 2022 WWO served more than 15,000 underserved children, caregivers and teachers in Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Haiti, Ukraine, the U.S., and Vietnam through our Element of Play, Positive Youth Development, and Camp programs.

Responsive, innovative and impactful programs worldwide.

We work in conjunction with nearly 150 collaborative partners to identify local needs. Then we work together to adapt and deliver our evidence-based programs that address developmental delays caused by trauma.

Our expertise is working with children who are experiencing poverty, housing instability, food insecurity, natural disasters, war, or illness. Our innovative programming breaks down social stigma while building critical life skills, helping children, families, and communities to thrive.
