Making an impact, one pencil case at a time!

Our Story
A word from our founder
Welcome to The Pencil Case Project! I founded the pencil case project in February 2024 by myself, having seen the dire educational conditions in which children are subjected to in developing countries. As a solo founder, I feel passionate about supporting the difficulties that children have accessing education, if they aren't even equipped for the classroom with basic tools like stationery and jotters. I also recognised as a young female founder, that it is vital that we nourish and encourage female attendance and participation in education globally. That's why I decided to found the Pencil Case Project with the aspiration to make a difference in education worldwide. Since then we have grown rapidly and we now have 2 partner schools in Senegal and Indonesia, with many more lined up for the near future. Our team has also grown from 1 to 3 and between us we have over 40 years experience in the education industry, so we understand the need to help children access education. There are lots of ways to get involved from donating to spreading the word on social media but we recognise that none of this would be possible without you which is why we invite you to join our community, who are giving children the opportunity to learn.- EHB (Founder)

WHO WE ARE
Our core values
The Pencil Case Project was established with one clear goal in mind and that is to provide children in developing countries with school supplies and the tools they need to succeed in the educational environment. From day 1 all our work encompass our three main pillars: ​
​
Dedication to ensure that every child has the tools they need to learn but also in our relentless mission to reach as many children and schools as possible.
Passion for creating an organisation that helps some of the most disadvantaged children to achieve great things.​ Children deserve everything and an education is bare minimum.
Drive to make sure that The Pencil Case Project is catering for the needs of every child in as many schools as possible globally and a drive to leave the world a better place than we found it!
Our core values, combined with our experienced team of volunteers who have over 40 years combined experience in the education sector, ensure we as an organisation are committing to providing purpose driven work and enabling as many children to access education, wherever they are.

How We Help
What we do to make a difference
Collect Donations
In order to carry out our work we rely on the generosity of donors like you! We are fortunate to receive both physical donations of stationery and financial contributions. We work with local community groups and individuals to raise money and collect donations and then send them to our partner schools.
Send to our partners
After we have collected all donations, we them distribute them to our partners, schools and charities. Currently we have partnerships in both Africa and Asia and we are looking to expand soon.
Make an impact
After we have distributed your donations, they then arrive at one of our partner schools, ready to be used by children who need them most! Our favourite moments come from seeing the children directly benefit from kind individuals like you!
