A classroom that has no desks, no chairs, no computers and no books! Inevitably, students who attend such schools in Africa are mostly from low income families and obtain a very poor education. In fact, according to UNESCO, more than 60% of students who go to school in Africa will not be able to read or write properly after finishing school. Yet in the UK, students, teachers and businesses throw millions of books away daily and harming the environment! One problem is the other’s solution! Help us educate people and save the environment.

Due to many changes over the years in curriculum requirements, we, the MFL department at JFS,  have a huge number of text books that no longer meet the needs of the exam structure. We would like these books to be transported to pupils across the world who would benefit greatly from these valuable resources. Please help us raise funds to transport these books to Africa via this wonderful charity: Books2Africa. Just £7 will transport a 20kg box of books to their sorting office and get them well on their way to empowering boys and girls with a better-educated future.
