The Useless Box is continuing to populate the world with useless... usefullness, and that means it's time for another update on the Make Something Useless Useful project. You might remember we started in 2012 by donating a percentage of past sales of Useless Boxes to Plan Canada. This year we are donating $6000 to assist education in Africa in the form of paying for:

  • Power for a a school
  • Equipment for a school
  • A baby buffalo
  • Five sheep
