Through your purchase you help enable children to attend school.

Did you know that each of our products always includes a social donation? Let's look at Uganda, one of the poorest countries in the world. Many families here do not have the financial means to buy the educational materials their children need to attend school. To make matters worse, the Corona pandemic forced schools to close for almost two years, the longest school closure in the world. This significantly set back children's learning in the country. With your stationery product you donate a lesson to a schoolchild in Uganda who can now learn again.

What is behind a school lesson?

When we talk about a lesson, there is actually a lot more to it. With your donation you help support school children with essential materials that are necessary for learning. This means that in addition to school supplies, hygiene products such as sanitary pads are also financed.

And all of these things can have a huge impact over time. Because if people are able to receive a high-quality education, they are more likely to be able to escape the cycle of poverty.

How exactly is the school lesson financed?

Back to your donation. How exactly does this turn into support for school children? Together with our partner Welthungerhilfe, we pursue the common goal of providing access to education. As an independent aid organization, Welthungerhilfe does not support any products or services. That is why share gives 10 cents of every stationery product sold to Welthungerhilfe in order to provide essential things that are necessary for learning.

Where can I get the stationery products now?

From 2024, edding will take over distribution for our stationery range. The mission remains unchanged: every stationery item sold enables one school lesson in Uganda.
