Welcome to...

Pens for Kids Portugal is a branch of Pens for Kids International, but does not yet have its own website, so here is a preliminary presentation of the organisation.

 

Pens for Kids Portugal is a local branch of the non-political, non-religious, non-profit charity organisation Pens for Kids International, the aim of which is to get writing utensils to underprivileged kids in the third world - primarily Africa.

 

Pens for Kids accepts donations of writing utensils such as pens, pencils, felt pens, rulers, erasers, gel-pens and the like, and sends them to Africa for distribution among kids who need them for their school work.

 

The pens are distributed through a network of local contacts - the so-called Pens for Kids Ambassadors, or through local non-profit charity organisations.

 

Pens for Kids is based entirely on volunteer work and has no administration costs other than shipping expenses for the pens.

 

Below are some documents presenting our project in Portuguese. Please download and distribute them to friends, family, colleagues and business associates - and tell the world about us !

...spent the first 8 years of her life in Angola and truly knows the problems kids in Africa are faced with. When she read about Pens for Kids she thus quickly volunteered to be a pen collector and started mobilising friends and family.
