Since 1990, the Millennium Development Goals have made great strides in supporting and bringing relief to millions of disenfranchised people throughout Africa. Including the Millennium Development Goal of universal primary education, the Kommunity Desk addresses a total of five Goals.
Achieve Universal Primary Education
In order to excite children about their education, they need to experience a positive, enjoyable environment where their young minds can explore and learn.
The Kommunity Desk is a proven African solution for an African challenge. The Kommunity Desk is approximately 14% to 20% of the average cost of a traditional school desk – and as effective in the classroom environment. Highly durable and mobile, enabling children to have an effective homework environment as well.
Develop a Global Partnership for Development
Kommunity Desk aims to eradicate poverty by enhancing the learning experience for students, thus enabling the child to express their full potential and empower themselves. We believe that a quality education is the first step on the road to uplifting communities and families.
Educated individuals are far more likely to make considered career and economic choices, and be able to provide themselves and their families with a better quality of life. Providing quality primary education, the infrastructure to sustain it, is the most desperate need in developing countries.
The Kommunity Desk offer a visible and sustainable partnership in any country needing assistance. And visibility of the Kommunity Desk ensures maximum exposure of the messages it carries into impoverished communities within emerging markets globally.
Ensure Environmental Sustainability
Lack of environmental awareness leads to communities unknowingly compromising their natural resources and sustainability thereof.
By educating people on environmentally sound practice from a young age, and imparting a sense of responsibility within communities and individuals alike, the Kommunity Desk provides an ongoing message to both learners and their communities on a daily basis. By using impactful imagery and simple, clear messaging, the values and actions of environmental sustainability and conservation is imprinted via repetitive viewing by exposing the Kommunity Desk to several individuals during the child’s journey to and from school.
In addition, the Kommunity Desk is 100% recyclable, using CE certified raw material and ISO 9001 production processes.
Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women
When the Kommunity Desk is handed over to the child, it becomes their property, and is carried between home and school each day. The ability to transfer important educational content onto the surface of the Kommunity Desk, ensures the support of this goal aligned with the MDG’s. Imprinting Gender Rights on the child as part of the cognitive development process – ensuring that future gender equality is accepted as the norm, rather than the exception.
