Just sponsor a classroom in a box by purchasing the classroom in a box product.

It is our social mission and intention to do so. We are starting with schools in Southern Africa and India. If you have any areas of schools, you want to become an advocate for check out our get involved page. It could be the area that you grew up in, an area that you went on vacation or simply a personal preference
You can sponsor products from any country. Currently for the Office in a box, Agile in a box and conference in a box we are starting with online orders only in the UK and expect to open this up to other countries later in 2020. However, if you are interested in any of the products please contact us and we will help fulfill the order
One of the biggest overheads we have in getting the sponsored product to remote schools is delivery costs. By having consignments of 6 allows us to keep the delivery charges lower. The second reason is that by delivering 6 boxes at a time to a school it is more impact, and the school can create more of a memory for the school and the students.
