Project Description

Project Description

ANKA is a play organization providing emergency play support for displaced children after disasters. Named after the phoenix, we help children rebuild through play. We prepare easily scalable disaster relief play systems according to the expected disaster, location and children at risk. By partnering with local companies and NGOs, we provide fast, flexible, familiar and fun play to the children in need. Donate and join Team ANKA, because disasters may destroy homes but together, we can help children rebuild through play.


Three children stand in a grassy area in front of a light-colored building. The child on the left wears a dark blue long-sleeved shirt with "ATHLETIC NEW YORK" written on it. The middle child wears a pink jacket. The child on the right wears a red jacket. All three children are smiling and looking toward the camera. Behind them are several white cardboard boxes stacked, with colorful drawings and text on them, including “REBUILD THROUGH PLAY.” A wooden table is visible to the left. The background includes more buildings and a clear sky.



A white sleeveless vest with green trim and a yellow square patch is positioned on a rocky surface. Beside it are two white t-shirts: one with four colorful abstract designs in blue, green, yellow, and orange, and the other with a green logo and a small green leaf logo. A blue baseball cap with the text "BUILD THROUGH PAY" and a green logo is visible. The background consists of gray rocks and pebbles.



A yellow fabric pouch with a black strap lies on a purple surface. The pouch has a white label with the words “This play set belongs to AYSE” and a child’s drawing of a smiling face. Scattered around the pouch are various craft supplies: wooden shapes, colored pencils, and small circular cutouts. A hand holds a piece of orange-red material near the pouch.
