Founded by dad duo Lance Kalish and Ido Leffler, the company "with a conscience" is behind the "share five" campaign, which wants to give 10,000 products to children and classrooms across the country who need them most.

To join them, all you have to do is take a snap of your open hand and upload the photo to social media with the hashtag #sharefive. Oh, and tag @yoobiaustralia.

In return Yoobi will donate five essential school items to a child in need via the Smith Family, during the 2017 Back to School period.

While both its founders are Australian, Yoobi originally launched in America and managed to provide two million children with much-needed school supplies.

Here's how you can help them down under:

They're already making in roads here with their one-for-one model, where, for every Yoobi item you buy, another is given to a child in need, again through the Smith Family.

You can pick yours up at Office Works.
