Zetu Mission
Our mission is to ensure that every African tomorrow is literate and contributing to society by furnishing classrooms in rural schools today with 1 million SeatPacks by 2030: School bags with bamboo classroom chairs and writing surfaces. We do this to increase literacy, combat climate change with bamboo-based furniture and increase female school-hours with menstrual kits in each SeatPack.
The Zetu Story
Since 2020, we have relied on user feedback and design-thinking to create a culture of continuous improvement as we experience our mission coming alive. Zetu Africa manages a production process locally as a for-profit, and relies on a great board of trustees to oversee the Zetu Foundation, a non-profit that makes sure every rural child that has a dream gets a shot at making it a reality with great classroom equipment to sit comfortably and write properly while studying.
Zetu Africa Products
Unique, Functional and Durable. These core qualities define every Zetu product. Zetu Africa manufactures bags for daily use (work, school, leisure and travel) to allow you BUY ONE AND GIVE ONE SeatPack with every purchase. This way, you too can create a reality where dreams come true for every child, regardless of their economic environment.
The Zetu foundation collaborates with organizations beyond Zetu Africa to put SeatPacks in classrooms across rural communities of Africa.
Zetu Foundation Impact
2200 children across Uganda alone are using SeatPacks in 32 schools, conserving 600 trees in the process by replacing tree-timber furniture with bamboo classroom chairs. By 2030, we intend on furnishing 1-million school children with SeatPacks, conserving 500,000 trees in the process and keeping 600,000 girls in school all year round with menstrual kit delivery in every SeatPack.
