We stumbled across this amazing charity Pepala at the trade show Merchandise World, and are now partnering with them to support them in their mission; to give surplus promotional products a second life.
The Pepala charity began on a dusty schoolyard in Malawi, where they - strangers from the UK - set out to on a charity deployment to end child hunger. Instead, they learned that brilliant minds were waiting to be unleashed, held back only by a lack of basic tools: pencils to capture thoughts, paper to chart dreams, backpacks to carry hope. They said "returning home, we couldn’t unsee the contrast between overflowing stationery aisles here and empty desks there. Out of that conviction, Pepala - “paper” in Chichewa - was born".
We now save samples and any surplus promotional products to give to this charity, to help the charity give every child the tools to write their own story.
