Giving back

Stemettes panelist

Here at Little Scholars Playground, one of our missions is to serve and give back to our young people. Particularly in the area of STEAM (Science Technology Engineering, Art and Maths). I was invited to be on a panel with Stemettes, along with 6 other female role models in STEAM. We spoke about our careers in STEAM (a very male dominated industry), the challenges we face, how we overcome them and answered lots of the young girls questions.

Donated books to Africa

Books 2 Africa

Books2Africa is an international Non-Governmental Organisation based in the United Kingdom (UK registered charity 1152599) whose mission is to promote a culture of ‘readcycling’ and to improve the quality of education in Africa, through the collection, processing, shipping and distribution of quality books, computers, and educational materials.

From the start of our business it’s always been our goal to be in a position to donate our books to schools in the UK and Africa. We recently donated a box of books to Africa via Books 2 Africa. We plan on donating books as often as possible through Books 2 Africa.

100 books donated for Black History Month 

Did you know only 34% of primary schools have a designated library budget? Thanks to everyone who has bought from us, we have been able to print 100 extra copies of our new STEM Leaders: Black inventors and innovators who changed the world book. We donated them to primary schools for Black History Month 2022.

We believe every school should have a library full of books that inspire children.

JA Worldwide

JA Worldwide – St Kitts and Nevis

Here at Little Scholars Playground one of our missions is to serve and give back to our young people. We recently volunteered with JA Worldwide as part of their Junior Achievement Business Builder Bootcamp, for students in St Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean. We delivered part of the marketing programme for the students who are preparing to set up their own business.

JA Worldwide is one of the world’s largest and most-impactful youth programmes who have recently been nominated for the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize. They deliver hands on, learning in work readiness, financial health, entrepreneurship, STEM and economics worldwide.

Young people are truly the future, so we feel that it is very important to provide them with the skills and tools to be successful in life, but not only that to help them build their own communities.
