    Robin Mednick founded Pencils for Kids (P4K) to provide basic supplies for students in rural Niger, where an entire class might share a single pencil. Over the past decade, P4K has gone on to build three schools, fund scholarships for girls, develop sustainable farming programs and offer micro-loans for starting small businesses. Garnering attention from governments and world bodies, the organization has brought the region’s desperate needs to centre stage.
