Why is ‘play’ an important part of a child’s development?

Teamwork, confidence, physical and social skills are just a few ways children learn through play. It’s why we loved shooting this video of kids in India playing and learning about themselves and the world around them.

The original song explains it all. “Believe in yourself, and help others believe, too,” sings the vocalist. “If you believe, you can succeed … you’ll be amazed by what you can do.”

At Children Believe, we support thriving communities, advancing child rights and protection so children have the space to play without any worries, gaining confidence to dream of a brighter future.

Play is important to a child’s development. Help support that today. Sponsor a child.
