Unused School Furniture

Wanted: unused school furniture

International Development Partnerships has a project to establish a Schools Resource Centre in the rural north of Ethiopia. It is planning to ship a sea container, or two if it can, of school furniture to the country during  December. The centre will have a language lab, a homework hub (a space for after-schools study) and a library. Andrew Chadwick, director,  asks if any of LCRN’s members have school desks and chairs and/or library shelving which they would like to donate to the project.  
Most of the schools in rural Ethiopia have had few resources for the past 20 or or 30 years.  Many classrooms are in a poor state of repair (where they exist at all) and, despite the Ethiopian Government’s attempts to build new classrooms in some areas, it is not able to provide furniture and fittings.
We would be most grateful if any of LCRN’s members with library shelving or school furniture could contact on 020 7286 9756 orandrew.chadwick@idp-uk.org.
