Zetu Foundation:
Your Lasting Impact

For every Zetu product purchased, the Zetu Foundation provides a SeatPack to rural primary schools across Africa. The SeatPack, a schoolbag that turns into a bamboo chair and writing surface, giving children who don't have access to school desks, tables and chairs a place to sit and write during class, indoors and outdoors.

Building futures, one product at a time

SeatPack is a school bag that turns into bamboo classroom chairs with portable writing surfaces. With over 95 million African children attending school without a place to sit and write during class, the SeatPack transforms lives.

Working towards UNs Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

All Zetu products purchased have a direct impact through the SeatPacks donated. They're also crafted with our workers and the environment in mind. Below, you can see which UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) you help us work towards when partnering with us or buying our products.

Quality education

SDG 4

By donating SeatPacks to rural schools, we help provide access to quality education. We specifically focus on schools across Sub-Saharan Africa, where people struggle the most in the world to have access to education, according to the UN.

Gender equality

SDG 5

Each SeatPack features a sanitary pocket, allowing girls to tend to their period when in school. With many girls missing up to 20% of a school year due to their period, the sanitary pocket plays a small but important role in helping achieve gender equality and empower all girls and women.

Decent work and economic growth

SDG 8

Our products are 100% locally hand-made by our small team in Kampala, Uganda. Every person who works across our value chain has a decent income that's at least four times above minimum wage. By employing locally and ensuring fair wages, we do our part in promoting decent work for all.

Climate action

SDG 13

The SeatPack is made with non-chemically treated bamboo and canvas. This means that no trees are cut in the production process. Having donated 1,800+ SeatPacks instead of wooden desks, we have so far conserved around 500 trees. In this way, we provide school children with a place to sit and write in class whilst minimising our environmental impact.
