VOICES OF PLAY

Sensory Playgrounds for Visually Impaired Children

Every child deserves the freedom to explore, laugh, and learn through play. Voices of Play is the Haniyya Foundation’s initiative to design and build sensory playgrounds that are fully accessible to children who are visually impaired. These playgrounds use sound, texture, scent, and motion to create joyful, confidence-building spaces where children lead their own discovery.

What These Playgrounds Will Offer

  • Multi-sensory equipment designed for touch, hearing, vibration, and smell to guide exploration and encourage independent play.

  • Tactile wayfinding and textured surfaces that help children navigate safely and confidently.

  • Musical and sound-based features that foster social interaction and cooperative games.

  • Fragrant garden areas and sensory planting to connect children with nature through scent and touch.

  • Safe inclusive layouts that allow children of all abilities to play together.

Sustainable, Smart Design

  • Environmentally friendly materials will be used throughout, prioritizing recycled, low-emission, and long-lasting components to reduce environmental impact.

  • Rainwater harvesting and smart irrigation systems will collect and reuse water for planting and play elements, conserving resources while adding tactile and auditory water features.

  • Low-energy lighting and durable finishes ensure safety and longevity with minimal maintenance and ecological footprint.

Why Donor Support Matters

Your gift turns design into reality. Donations fund site assessments, specialist equipment, community consultations, sustainable materials, and installation. Every contribution creates a tested, durable play environment that supports physical development, emotional well being, and social inclusion for visually impaired children and their families.
