PROJECT PLAYGROUND

We are so proud and happy to share our newest collaboration together with Project Playground. We have designed a beautiful diamond necklace drawing inspiration from Project Playground's logo. A diamond radiates strength, purity, and endless possibilities, just like all the wonderful children and youth at Project Playground. The necklace is available in two sizes and in both gold plated brass and sterling silver. Support Project Playground's important work by purchasing the necklace from their webshop.

This is an I00% non-profit collaboration. We don't make a profit from the sale as the surplus goes straight to Project Playground and their work with vulnerable children and youth in the townships outside Cape Town and the suburbs of Stockholm.

H.R.H. Princess Sofia, former Sofia Hellqvist, and Frida Vesterberg founded Project Playground in 20I0. 

With a background and commitment to the non-profit sector, both H.R.H. Princess Sofia and Frida saw a need to focus on the development of the individual in combination with a holistic perspective of the child and its unique, personal needs in order to create a sustainable and long term change both on an individual and systematic level. 

Both founders wanted to create a safe space through a meaningful spare time where trustworthy adults motivate children and youth to believe in the future and the possibility to influence and steer their life in a positive way. 

They also saw the need to build a sustainable structure where knowledge transfer in collaboration with the community and local institutions already present in the area became a contributing factor in the development of the way the foundation work. There's a big focus on the development and well-being of the staff as they are the ones who deal with the challenges the children and youth live with daily. 

On this basis Project Playground was founded.

In the DR of Congo, it’s more dangerous to be a woman than a soldier. In the conflict that’s been centered around natural assets among other things, hundreds of thousands of women and children have been subjected to sexual assault. But there’s a place that gives hope to the women of Congo – the Swedish-built Panzi Hospital outside the city of Bukavu. It’s a place where women and children are offered medical care and treatment.

The work the Panzi Hospital and Dr. Denis Mukwege are doing for vulnerable women has become world-famous but is still threatened by strained finances. We have created a piece of jewelry as a way to raise funds for the work they do and spread awareness about the situation in the DR of Congo, through PMU. All profits from the jewelry go straight to the work PMU do at the hospital.

PMU is part of the Pentecostal Movement and was founded in 1965 and is one of the largest relief organizations in Sweden. At the end of 1990, PMU was part of building the Panzi Hospital and has been supporting the work ever since. The work in the DR of Congo started long before PMU was founded and today they have multiple initiatives around the country together with other well-known organizations on the ground such as Radiohjälpen and Världens Barn.
