Concern

As kids right across the UK countdown the days until the end of term, don’t forget to spare a thought for the teachers that have taught them day-in, day-out for the last year. Committed, hard-working and dedicated teachers make the world of the difference to our kids’ education so why not show your appreciation with a Gift from Concern Worldwide?

Their range of quirky and fun ethical gifts is perfect for teachers of every age group and all of them come with a specially designed card for you to personalise and send on. Every purchase from their School Days section will specifically help to fund their education projects around the world.

In Concern’s Gifts range you’ll find something for every taste and budget:

£7 could buy a water filter to provide clean, disease-free water to communities so children can concentrate on going to school rather than having to collect water from far-away water sources.

£21 could buy pens, pencils and other essential school items for ten school children to ensure that they have the things they need to make the most out of their education.

£63 could provide a teacher with training to improve their teaching methods, expand their knowledge and grow in confidence, so that the children they teach have the best chance in life.

Concern believes that education is the key to ending poverty which is why we run a variety of education projects in some of the world’s poorest communities: In Kenya, for example, they provide grants to local primary schools to improve school buildings and ensure that children have a safe, secure place to learn; In Bangladesh they are working with school boards to ensure that the poorest children receive special attention in school to improve their performance; and in Haiti right now they are running child friendly spaces – areas set aside in refugee camps for earthquake affected children where they have lesson in reading and writing, as well as arts, crafts and music. By providing children with an education, they are equipping them with knowledge and skills they need to break the grinding cycle of poverty.

A gift for your favourite teacher today, could mean children living in extreme poverty around the world receive the education that every child needs. Please buy a Concern Gift today.
