The SeatPack is 3-times cheaper than a wooden desk and the cost of a regular school bag, YET it also turns into a bamboo classroom chair, a writing board and menstrual pouch for school children without classroom furniture in rural Sub Saharan Africa.
Your support is serving a waiting list that includes 5 to 8-year-olds at Namaato Primary in Eastern Uganda where 1,036 children share 50 old desks.
PS: Why do we celebrate by giving SeatPacks?
Over 95 Million African school children attend classes in rooms without furniture. This makes sitting and writing very difficult, directly affecting child literacy and health over the long term; poor posture for long hours impacts kids’ ability to write properly and causes back pain.
Relying on only tree-timber to make classroom furniture accelerates the Climate Change catastrophe at a mass scale annually, and;
Adolescent girls often miss school to properly cater to period hygiene, missing up to 20% of the school year.
