Buy The Book

The teachers at the schools we partner with daily commit themselves to teaching their classes despite facing challenges of limited classroom resources. In 2014 the Zambian government made significant changes to the Zambian Curriculum and over the last few years the government have rolled out a wide range of textbooks to assist in its implementation. Unfortunately, textbooks are expensive for schools to purchase so teachers often only have one or two textbooks per class for up to 45 pupils. This means that children either crowd around textbooks that are available, or the teacher ends up using significant portions of the lesson copying large bodies of the text, including diagrams, onto the chalkboard for children to gain access to the exercise the teacher wants them to complete. 
 


This Christmas, Beyond Ourselves is running a campaign especially to help schools in Zambia purchase these most valued of resources.

One textbook for just £5.00 (http://www.beyondourselves.co.uk/donate/alternative-gifts/item/3/57/text-book/?a=sl)

A set of five textbooks for £25.00 (http://www.beyondourselves.co.uk/donate/alternative-gifts/item/3/25/text-books/?a=sl)

This Christmas, would you gift a book to Zambia?

Do it, Buy the Book, Change a Life.
