This need for funding EduCrate originated when The SchoolWorks Lab, Inc. began researching a response to the millions of children around the world that do not have access to schools. While designing a solution for disaster areas like the tsunami-ravaged South East Asia, the recycled shipping container became the essential building block. Our shipping container solution for rebuilding schools in disaster and conflict areas opened up the possibility of applying this solution to an entirely new market—building low-cost, sustainable, ready-to-use schools in underserved communities here in the United States. Disaster Relief Classrooms EduCrate™ Quick Relief Classrooms are modular structures that have been customized for use as temporary schools in disaster/conflict areas and can also be used as community resource centers to locate and reunite missing or displaced people. The EduCrate Quick Relief Classroom is the quickest, strongest, safest solution for communities that have suffered from natural disasters or are living in conflict zones.
Most important, we are a mission-driven, caring organization whose primary concern is helping to restore education hope. Our goal is to get educationally displaced children back into safe, comfortable, and appropriate learning environments as quickly as possible. We are ready to partner with organizations around the world to accomplish this goal. We provide a solution in compliance with the International Rescue Committee’s Minimum Standards for Education Emergencies for re-establishing educationally displaced children back into safe, comfortable, and appropriate learning environments as quickly as possible – and we are ready to partner with organizations around the world to accomplish this goal. Building Schools in the United States EduCrate™ Modular Classrooms are a green building solution to school construction in underserved communities by transforming recycled shipping containers into powerful, ready-to-use, learning environments that are cost-efficient and sustainable.
An independent Special Needs school in Rye, NH is a strong possibility to serve as a prototype site. They are looking to expand their facilities and they have adequate land/space. This site could provide valuable feedback to the development of the EduCrate Modular Classroom.
