The non-profit organisation Aarambh are helping to improve the well being of children in India by taking cardboard boxes and recycling them into a bag that converts into a desk. This helps the handwriting of the children as well as their posture and eyesight.

The not-for-profit organisation
Aarambh look to tackle the
problems in India’s poorer
classrooms.
In one of their many schemes
they collect old cardboard boxes
sourced from offices, retailers
and recycling centres. They then
use a template for cutting out
the desk-bag.
Designed by DDB Mudra, the
cut cardboard can be folded
into a bag for the children to
carry their books. At the start
of every day, the bag can then
be unfolded and refolded into
a small desk.
This improves the children’s
comfort and posture. It will
also help them to avoid
eyesight and handwriting
problems which arise from
reading, writing and sitting on
the floor.
