When I saw this design competition and saw the goals I immediately saw two things that stuck out to me, the goal of poverty and quality education. I knew the first place I could help was Africa. As it turns out education is a huge priority for everyone and every child deserves an education. But as it turns out basic utensils cost a lot in Africa. To minimise the cost of education I built this.

So I built a very cheap pencil case that can open and close which includes a ruler(which is also a compass). Also, the photos provided are the prototype of the compass ruler. Another idea I thought was to use as little plastic for the print so the cost to make it would be cheaper and lighter. So in places where I could remove some plastic, I removed it. (i had to make prototypes as I don't have a 3d printer)

The ruler/compass can be used by using it as a normal ruler or to use the compass by putting the pole included in the extra hole and putting the pencil in where ever in the ten-centimetre range you want. So there are ten holes in each centimetre. Therefore you can make circles up to 20cm in diameter.

The student can buy more pencils and put them in the extra pencil holders.

The people can get this in a small pack. 

Items in pack:

pencil case

protractor

ruler/compass

2 pencils

1 pen

Therefore I hope I have shown you how practical and cheap helping people is. So I hope you appreciate my project that may help thousands of poor people in Africa and maybe worldwide. Good luck to all the other contestants.
