Quick facts about Zetu Foundation
- What is Zetu Foundation?
- Zetu Foundation is a environment nonprofit organization based in Kampala, Uganda. SeatPack supports children in neglected school communities lacking furniture at school and electricity at home by delivering SeatPacks; Solar powered school bags that turn into bamboo classroom chairs with writing surfaces during lessons at school, and a rechargeable solar lighting kit for continued studying after dark at home (includes a menstrual storage toolkit inside for adolescent girls). SeatPacks serve rural / refugee children ages 6 to 15 years daily over a minimum 5-year period. This mission is inspired by 3 core reasons: 1. In East Africa alone, over 10 million rural/refugee children aged 6 to 15 years study in neglected classrooms lacking both furniture and electricity (due to the high cost of wooden furniture averaging $100 each, with 1% of schools connected to the power grid in Uganda alone).

Replacing tree-timber furniture with sustainable bamboo furniture using SeatPacks can greatly combat Climate Change at scale over the next 20 years. 3. Giving adolescent girls a menstrual toolkit in each bag increases school attendance all year by 20%, creating equal gender opportunities for girls in rural communities to define their futures. The SeatPack has been locally designed and proven to directly address the above 3 issues. SeatPacks are used daily by 2,200 children in 32 schools across Uganda alone (East Africa) and are designed, produced, and delivered by a local team with local leadership all living in Uganda. Our goal is to gift 1 million African school children by 2030 the daily experience of sitting comfortably and writing properly during classes at school, and solar lighting to study at home after dark. Meeting this goal means: 1. Together, we improve learning at school and at home for 1 million children in remote and refugee communities with furniture f
