Every Uniform Helps Another Child Get an Education
At Kapes, we believe access to education should never be determined by poverty — and that uniforms can unlock opportunity.
Free School Uniforms
In many parts of Africa, a uniform is the barrier between a child and a classroom. Children without one are often turned away — even from free public schools.
Discover how our free uniform program is transforming education across Africa by removing barriers to learning
Free School Uniforms for Children in Need
We provide uniforms to children who otherwise couldn't afford them
Local Ethical Production

Dignity, Confidence & Access

Your students wear sustainable uniforms — and make it possible for others to wear theirs, too.
Jacob's Story
Meet Jacob from Kirigu Primary School in Kenya, who shares how receiving a free school uniform changed his educational journey.

We also fund school meals for children who can't afford to eat during the day — helping reduce absenteeism, improve concentration, and keep children in school longer.
Funded Through Takeback Scheme
Every returned Kapes uniform = 1 meal donated
Local Partner Implementation
We work with partners in Kenya and beyond to monitor delivery
Improved School Attendance
