A great deal of work and effort goes into building these playgrounds. Some are designed and manufactured locally. When equipment is purchased abroad, parts are shipped to Palestine and assembled using local labor. We transfer ownership of the equipment to a local Palestinian NGO, school, or municipality with which we contract to assume responsibility for the playground. The land is always donated. Among PfP’s stipulations for these playgrounds is that 1) girls are given equal access as boys, 2) children are not charged for use of the playground, and 3) the local partner commits to regular maintenance and cleanup to ensure the safety of the site.
