The SeatPack is a sustainable $15 school bag with a bamboo classroom chair and a writing board (including a menstrual pouch for adolescent girls) ideal for rural school children attending classes without basic sitting and writing facilities across Sub-Saharan Africa (up to 95 million to date).
Your gift 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?
- Delivering low-cost classroom furniture gives over 95 Million school children in rural Africa a new daily experience of attending classes while sitting comfortably and writing properly, directly improving learning.
- Replacing tree-timber furniture with bamboo furniture can greatly combat climate change at large scale.
- Giving adolescent girls a menstrual pouch in each bag can increase school attendance all year by 20%.
