Putting Pen To Paper

A chance meeting at last year’s January Top Drawer has resulted an inspiring collaboration between two sustainable companies – VENT for Change and Cycle of Good.

Both companies were exhibiting their recycled, reclaimed and sustainable product ranges at the show, with the two organisations discovering that they shared many ethical and social philosophies.

“Cycle of Good were clearly doing amazing work in Malawi with their education projects, and we had materials and supplies they could utilise in a positive and practical way,” explained Evan Lewis Founder of sustainable stationery company VENT for Change, which supports children’s education projects worldwide.

The following month (February 2020), VENT donated 10,000 of their recycled pencils to Cycle of Good for their Krizevac Project, building and running schools and educating children across Malawi.

This July 2021, VENT sent a new consignment of  hundreds of notebooks to be used by children in Cycle of Good school projects.

“Donations in kind of education materials, such as the pencils and notebooks gifted by VENT for Change, mean we can spend our money elsewhere – on teachers, schools and other essentials to help provide children with the education they deserve,” commented Zoe Kasiya, Cycle of Good’s UK manager.
