1% for Education fund

Since 1947, Maped has become over the years a key player in back-to-school in more than 125 countries around the world, giving children around the world access to high-quality products.

In parallel with its mission as a school supplier, the company has always been committed to supporting educational projects, particularly through product donations. In Europe, Latin America and Asia, through the group’s subsidiaries, distribution network and employees, thousands of children have been able to benefit from Maped products and thus equip themselves to learn.

In 2021, Maped structures and develops its sponsorship action by creating the 1% For Education Fund. Aiming to finance the maximum number of initiatives in favour of education around the world!

With several hundred million products sold around the world, some of which will see 1% of their turnover donated to the Fund, we are convinced that we can participate at our level in improving the education of many children around the world.

The missions of the 1% For Education fund

PROVIDE ACCESS TO EDUCATION FOR ALL CHILDREN

• Facilitating access to school, regardless of the child’s place of life, disability or origin

• Equipping for learning, so that every child can go to school with the supplies they need
• By fighting against early school leaving, so that schooling continues to the end

DEVELOPING CHILDREN’S TALENTS TO CHANGE THE WORLD

• By valuing creativity, especially through manual experimentation
• By allowing each child to discover and develop their own talents

• By supporting innovative educational projects and new forms of education

Beyond financial support, the fund’s objective is also to enable human adventures. It allows maped group employees to get involved in projects with associations and to give their time to participate in the action of partner associations.
