It seems they put alot of effort into educating in schools, if they then had somewhere they could donate clothes it would let the children take part in what they had learnt about. I don't know if the schools pay for the assemblies but the banks are given out for free. If the education program could be run in return for the school hosting a bank think it would be an insentive for them both I tried looking if they have Traid Banks at schools already but I cant find anything about bank locations on the site.This is what Traid have on their website about how they educate in schools.
