In May, we announced that we were getting moving to empower children with Right To Play. Well, that’s what we’ve been doing for the past 3 months, and we’re very proud of what we’ve achieved together.

Our partner, Right To Play, is a non-profit organization that educates, protects, and empowers children in disadvantaged communities through play, with programs in 15 different countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Moreover, since the power of play is also what animates us at UNGA, we thought that moving and exercising would be a great, playful way to support our partner and its meaningful mission.

So, with the help of the Scooch app, we’ve tracked our physical activity with one goal in mind: unlocking rewards that can help children worldwide benefit from Right To Play’s play-based programs. As such, our 3-month initiative has come to an end, and we’re proud to share that we’ve unlocked over 1,300 play rewards.

“Big applause for all UNGA employees who literary moved for Right To Play during these past COVID-19 months,” shared Marije Dippel, National Director Right To Play Netherlands. “With your support, we were able to keep children healthy, learning and mentally strong! A true example of a powerful partnership where play is at the heart of everything we do together. Thank you, UNGA!”

Since being active has never been so meaningful, UNGA isn’t going to stop here. “I’m super proud of our team!” says Gloria van Vonderen, our HR Coordinator who brought the initiative to life in collaboration with Right To Play. “Because we all moved so much, and I believe it is a real success story, we will continue using Scooch and moving for Right to Play until the end of the year.” A great way for us to nourish a partnership that means a lot to us, with an organization that does so much for children worldwide.
