Charities all over the world invest millions of dollars to support education in impoverished communities. Organizations focus on all aspects of education, including school buildings, school books and materials, and even teaching staff.

Another factor that can significantly influence learning is classroom furniture. The Furniture for Education Worldwide foundation is a national charity based in London which aims to send all extra furniture, including classroom chairs and tables, to deprived countries across the globe.

These furniture contributions have many advantages. Thousands of children are able to sit at desks instead of on pillows or concrete floors, providing them with more structured environments and the ability to focus on their studies in much better conditions.

Charities like these are also contributing to the environment by recycling and re-using old materials instead of sending them to landfills and polluting the atmosphere.
