About us

Who we are

School in a Bag provide bright red rucksacks full of essential resources that enable displaced, disadvantaged and disaster affected children worldwide to write, draw, colour, calculate, express themselves, eat, drink, wash and above all, learn.

A typical SchoolBag (right) contains: 12 pencils, 10 biro pens, 12 colouring pencils, a maths set, ruler, pencil case, 6 exercise books (line/square/plain), a water bottle, a LunchBox and Spork and a hygiene pack comprising toothbrush, toothpaste, flannel, soap and washable facemask.

Our first SchoolBags were distributed in Swaziland in 2009 with Shelterbox. Since then, over 160,000 bags have been delivered in 61 countries including refugee SchoolBags provided for displaced children and young people relocated to the UK.
