Educational Charities 101

Educational charities from the western world adopt a variety of ways of helping educational institutions in third world countries.  First, they help to raise the funds to erect school buildings. Once that has been taken care of, the schools need furniture in line with 21st century learning (including computer tables, computer chairs, books, etc.).  Next, these organizations provide scholarships for students so that they do not have to pay school fees.  There are also the charities that train new teachers and help upgrade the skills of current teachers.

Given that we are in the 21st century and education is moving toward a more computer-based structure, there are certain educational charities that specifically raise money for computer equipment in schools as well.  They will also offer extra-curricular computer-based training classes.  The library is important as well, but again, that requires funding to be properly equipped.

Edu-Care Recycling UK recycles items for charity.  In so doing, it provides work experience and volunteer opportunities for the unemployed, supplementing their skills to offer potential employers.  The organization has a whole array of used computer tables, computer desks, and other education-based furniture for firms or individuals to purchase. As well, there is catering equipment, exam desks, podiums, library furniture, etc. Edu-Care is a low cost high quality alternative to purchasing educational furniture and equipment.

To find out more about the work of Edu-Care Recycling, join the organization for an open day on September 20, 2013 from 10am to 4pm.  There, visitors will be able to meet the team, learn more about the organization’s work and how the environment and communities benefit from it.  One hundred percent of its profits are given to charity to help the local community.

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.
