"Education is a chief factor in breaking the cycle of poverty and giving kids a chance at a great life, and this is the premise of the Pencil Promise organization. Using their one-for-one promotion to allow children to attend school and get a basic education, they fill backpacks with school supplies and sell them online for $25. Once having bought a backpack with school supplies, an identical backpack will be given to a child in need around the world.  Many children have access to school systems, but are unable to attend because they don&amp;#039;t have the access to the supplies they need. Hoping to stop this cycle, the Pencil Promise has created a smart, simple and proactive approach to driving education around the world. As one of the foremost problem-solving solutions, education is one of the most pressing concerns worldwide. The contributions being made by the Pencil Promise are fundamental in addressing these concerns. &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Contact Information&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; Pencil Promise &amp;lt;a target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;http://thepencilpromise.com/our-story/educating-children&amp;quot;&amp;gt;website&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Pencil Promise on &amp;lt;a target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;http://www.facebook.com/ThePencilPromise&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Facebook&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Pencil Promise on &amp;lt;a target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;http://twitter.com/#!/pencilpromise&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Twitter&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Pencil Promise on &amp;lt;a target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNlkdb2VtN4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;YouTube&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
