WHY IT MATTERS

Uniforms are one of the largest hidden barriers to education.

81%

of schools in sub-Saharan Africa require a school uniform

~40%

of household education spending goes to uniforms and supplies alone

55%

a girl is 55% less likely to miss school when she finally has a uniform of her own

HOW IT WORKS

One uniform. Three years. Six sizes.

With my uniform, I can go to school without worry.  My dream is that some day I will be able to start a business to help support my family.
