WANTED – spare classroom science equipment for schools in Africa

We  are setting up a project that aims to support the IOP’s Physics For A Better World initiative by aiming to collect spare or unwanted science equipment from UK schools and ship it to IOP resource centres in various African countries.

Through the initiative we are helping to set up and implement work schemes for classrooms, and our local co-ordinators on site will make sure local communities get the most out of any donation.

We’re looking for any equipment you may no longer want and which could be serviced and send out to schools to be used for training and lessons. We have secured a storage facility so we just need you to tell us what you have and where you are and we can arrange for it to be collected.

If this is something that you can help us with please contact Lucy at Lucy.Futter@equip-ed.org  or Dipali at Dipali.Chauhan@iop.org
