In the UK, many people take for granted school supplies, which include pens, pencils, paper, chalks and rulers among many others. However, for most Zambian children, the lack of them is due to the inability of their parents to pay for them and is significant in the failure of many to have a full education. The Trust therefore decided that its first priority must be to focus on school supplies in its School Aid 4 Zambia programme. https://literacyinabox.org.uk/
