RAISING FUNDS TOGETHER —

The Lyreco For Education programme raises funds from the 25 countries in which Lyreco operates to give children living in poor conditions better access to education. Each project has been developed in partnership with an international NGO focusing on children’s education. A specific action plan is defined based on objectives that respond to local challenges: • Building school facilities or renovating classrooms, boarding houses, sanitary infrastructures or playgrounds • Training of teachers and school directors, in- cluding, e.g., initial training and pedagogy. • Learning equipment such as books, chalkboards and teaching supplies • Raising the awareness and involvement of parents • Equal access to education • The final goal of each project is to main- tain our actions over a lifetime by increa- sing child enrollment in the long term.
