Gourock Primary first embarked on Just Trading Scotland’s 90kg Rice Challenge earlier this year and has a dedicated team of pupils who market the fairly traded Kilombero rice to our school community.

This has been a huge success and we have now sold 3 batches of the delicious Kilombero rice. Our Global Citizen group are very enthusiastic about the challenge and are passionate about selling because they believe they can make a huge difference to Malawian child’s life.

The pupils have gained many skills for learning, life and work. They are only too aware of how important education is for creating opportunities in a child’s future and decided to produce a rice recipe book to accompany each bag sold, alongside an information leaflet which educates customers about the benefits of buying. We’re ready to receive our next batch!
