Since 2023, BIC’s generous stationery donations to the Shidaa Foundation have been transforming education for children in Ghana and Canada. By providing essential school supplies such as pens, pencils, sharpeners, and highlighters, BIC is helping students in underserved communities gain the tools they need to succeed academically. These contributions directly support the Shidaa Foundation’s mission to improve access to education, reduce learning barriers, and empower children through reliable educational resources across borders. Why Stationery Is Essential for Education  Access to basic school stationery is fundamental to effective learning. Pens and pencils allow students to take notes, complete assignments, practice writing, and express creativity. Without these tools, children face obstacles that can negatively affect literacy, confidence, and academic performance. In resource-limited communities in Ghana and community education programs in Canada, the availability of quality stationery ensures that every child can fully participate in classroom activities and pursue knowledge without limitations. BIC’s Ongoing Support for The Shidaa Foundation Each year, BIC donates a wide range of writing instruments, including: Durable pens for daily classroom use Pencils with sharpeners for writing, mathematics, and drawing Highlighters to support studying and organization These supplies are included in school backpacks distributed by the Shidaa Foundation through its education initiatives in Ghana and Canada. Starting in 2023 and continuing through 2025, BIC’s consistent support reflects its global commitment to donating millions of writing instruments to students in need, creating long-term educational impact.
