Project Playground supports children and youth in vulnerable communities in South Africa by offering safe, structured spaces to grow, learn, and play. Through free after-school programs, sports, creative activities, academic support, and psychosocial services, they provide meaningful opportunities for young people who might otherwise face isolation or unsafe environments. In South Africa, their centers offer daily meals, counseling, and educational support for children living in challenging conditions. By strengthening confidence, well-being, and life skills, Project Playground helps children build brighter, more empowered futures.

Together with our customers, Kalma donates three nutritious meals for every connected product sold. Through our partnership with Project Playground, we support children in vulnerable situations, helping provide reliable meals, improved well-being, and a brighter future for those who need it most.

Project Playground was founded by H.K.H. Princess Sofia together with Frida Vesterberg in 2010. Driven by a commitment to support vulnerable children in South Africa, they created safe spaces offering meals, guidance, and meaningful activities. Their vision was to give every child the chance to grow, thrive, and shape a brighter future.

We are proud to support their important work, together with you we can make a difference.

In addition to providing safe spaces and daily nutritious meals, Project Playground helps children grow by teaching them how to plant and care for their own crops. Through hands-on gardening, they learn responsibility, nutrition, and sustainability. This practical knowledge builds confidence, strengthens communities, and shows children how small actions can create lasting, positive change in their lives.
