Project Pencil Case - Ethiopia

 In Ethiopia we are working with Project Pencil Case (Charity No 1144051) to provide basic educational materials for disadvantaged school children as well as education and training for marginalised women. Founded by Arabella Stewart who was brought up in Ethiopia and returned to live there in 2009. Her vision for Project Pencil Case came from witnessing the widespread and desperate need for Ethiopian Students to have basic materials for their education in a country with extreme poverty and scarce resources.

 Project Pencil Case gives disadvantaged primary school children a head start, by providing essential pencils cases and uniforms. Additionally, they assist those who failed high school by supporting them in night school enabling and empowering them to complete their education and to learn a practical trade in sewing and design.

£5          provides one pencil case locally produced to a student in need

£30        provides a full school uniform for a child

£300      provides night school education enabling a high school failure to retake their final exam

£500      provides a full scholarship for a student to learn a technical trade (sewing and design)

 NCCT donated £1.000 to Project Pencil Case
