As the school term comes to an end, don’t throw away textbooks that are still in good condition. Instead, donate them to the FairPrice Group’s Share-A-Textbook Initiative.

This community-driven effort aims to make educational resources accessible, ease financial burdens for families, and promote sustainability in Singapore. By giving pre-loved books a second life, the initiative supports students and helps reduce environmental waste.
