Pooja Rai believes all children should have access to a playground where they can let their imaginations run wild, and through Anthill Creations, she s helping make this happen across India.

Since Rai launched Anthill Creations in 2016, the nonprofit has delivered tire playground equipment to 275 schools, public spaces, and refugee camps, and designed play spaces for blind children as well.
