School in a box

UNICEF's innovative 'School-in-a-Box' and helps UNICEF set up a temporary school for at least 80 children during times of emergency.

In 2004, more than 10 million children went back to school thanks to education kits supplied by UNICEF.

Since the mid-1990s, UNICEF has delivered the School-in-a-Box to emergency situations all over the world, providing the chance for children to continue their education during the most extreme crises.

In addition to the basic school supplies, such as exercise books, pencils, erasers and scissors, the kit also includes a wooden teaching clock, plastic cubes for counting and a set of three laminated posters (alphabet, multiplication and number tables). The kit is supplied in a lockable aluminium box, the lid of which doubles as a blackboard when coated with the special paint included in the kit.
