Improving literacy and numeracy is vital in the fight for a better standard of living.

Unfortunately, there are still millions of children who haven't even seen a text book, let alone a school. The ones that are lucky enough to go are often taught by untrained teachers in unhygienic, poorly equipped classrooms.

Education is central to reducing poverty in society as a whole. By improving education, you improve the life-chances of a whole generation.

School books (£13) can give children a real chance at getting the education they deserve. Or how about something really special - help Build a Classroom (£880) by giving children the space, facilities and resources they need to get a much needed education.
