Wilo UK has formed a relationship with Village School Improvement Project Zambia – a Somerset-based charity that provides educational opportunities for children in the eastern province of Zambia in southern Africa.

The initial gift to the charity was a box of Wilo rucksacks, which a number of schoolchildren in Zambia now have and use on the way to and from school every day.

Morgan Warren-Ross, Wilo’s marketing manager, said: “We were pleased to be able to help in such a small way initially but, having learned more about the charity and the work it does, we would like to be able to get even more involved and are currently exploring ways in which we can help David and his team.

“It’s not a charity that we feel would be fair for us to support alone – and as such would welcome any other company’s willingness to utilise their own charity support mechanisms to get in touch with David direct and offer whatever support they felt able to give.”
