Gives Back
In sub-Saharan Africa, 24 million girls can’t afford to go to school. Although school is often free, each year millions of girls are denied the opportunity to attend school because they can’t afford the required school uniform. With the purchase of this jacket, Two Penny Blue donate a school uniform to a girl in need in Africa, helping her get her education, increasing her self esteem, and contributing to the opportunity for a brighter future. They partner with various organisations that work in rural Kenya, including the Daraja Academy (offering scholarships to gifted girls with no means to continue their education), Tailored for Education (which provides school uniforms so as to reduce the financial burden on families who wish to send their children to school), and Flying Kites (a primary school for orphaned and critically poor students in Kenya).
