The 90kg Rice Challenge runs throughout the year and is the perfect social enterprise activity for your school, church or community group covering a range issues which are prevalent in today’s society including Fair Trade, Sustainability, Justice, Social Enterprise and Global Citizenship.

It is a fun and engaging project with excellent learning outcomes and it is incredibly easy to organise and comes with an educational Challenge Pack, one for schools and one for churches, which will be sent to you along with your 90 x 1kg bags of delicious Great Taste award winning Kilombero rice.

Primary education is free in Malawi but secondary education is not and therefore a rice farmer has to sell 90kg of rice to enable a child to attend secondary school for a year and so the participants can directly see that their buying decisions are helping provide a better life for those in some of the poorest communities in Malawi. It is a very visual and easy to understand concept which people can feel part of. Another added bonus is that the Challenge counts towards your Fairtrade school and Fairtrade church awards.

Order your Challenge today by emailing info@jts.co.uk or online at www.jts.co.uk/shop

The 90kg Rice Challenge

“The 90Kg Rice Challenge is a fantastic social enterprise initiative to run in school, not only do the children have an opportunity to run a small scale business but they can see how their efforts and actions directly impact positively on the lives of others. It has been particularly successful at Primary 7 in our establishment where we have been able to link it to the pupils’ own experience of preparing for High School transition while thinking about those who do not have the same opportunity as themselves. This was a very powerful message and helped encourage and motivate our pupils a great deal.”

Gary Thomson, Principal Teacher, Hillhead Primary School.
