International Rescue Committee partnership

We work with the International Rescue Committee, Plan International, War Child Holland and Innovations for Poverty Action on the LEGO-funded PlayMatters project. This initiative aims to encourage adults (teachers, caregivers and community members) to support learning through play among refugee and host community children in Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda.

In the future, BIT will take the lead on behavioural mapping, prototyping and piloting of interventions, with the goal of ultimately reaching 800,000 children in the region.
