Helping Children in the Philippines
We have teamed up with The Philippine Community Fund to help collect valuable supplies to build the largest school in the world made from recycled shipping vans – a first of it’s kind. The school will be large enough to offer education to every child who is working on the Philippine open dump sites, making child labour a thing of the past for these children. On 28 April, we helped fill containers with school and office furniture, building supplies and tools to be shipped to the Philippines.
Ready steady store is also currently home to hundreds of pairs of Wellington boots. 90 per cent of school children are child labourers on the open dump sites in the Philippines and the Wellington boots will give their feet protection from the garbage and flood waters that settle where they live during the rainy season.
Great work from the Eastleigh store!
