As a child, can you imagine trying to learn how to read without a book? Can you imagine grasping basic mathematical skills without a pencil? Can you imagine learning how to write without a pen and paper?
This is the situation which faces millions of children and teachers around the world because of factors such as FAMINE, DISEASE, SOCIAL CONFLICT, WAR, DISASTER and POVERTY.
The millions of children who are lucky enough to access education are leaving school unable to read, write or do basic mathematics due to the lack of resources and opportunities available to them.
This message is from Luke at School in a Bag
As a small charity, who receives no government funding, we are constantly looking for ways we can fundraise and let more people know about School in a Bag. Not all fundraising involves running marathons, swimming the channel or trekking up a mountain (although if anyone wants to do any of these to support us, we'd love to hear from you!
Instead, you can raise money whilst you're shopping (at no extra expense to you), volunteer at our fund-raising events and even help spread the word about our charity by sharing our social media posts.Please see some of the ways you can help, and if you can do any of them, we'd appreciate it hugely!more Mary's Meals is a global charity that serves life-changing school meals to some of the world’s poorest children to help towards their education. Donations direct to Mary's Meals always welcome.
