Unkara Group Foundation is a community-based Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) tackling the global textile waste crisis by turning second-hand dumping into opportunity.

We work through three pillars:
Recycling Capacity: Building local hubs where discarded textiles are sorted, repaired, and upcycled into new products, creating jobs and reducing environmental harm.
Youth Leadership: Equipping students through hybrid learning and field experiences to become circular economy operators, storytellers, and advocates.
Market Access: Connecting community-made products with conscious consumers and global partners through e-commerce and sustainability networks.

Our approach blends local action with global reach, empowering artisans, students, and communities while aligning with shifting international sustainability standards.

Unkara’s work has been recognized by UNDP’s INSPIRO Network, the UN Fashion & Lifestyle Network, and as a nominee for the 2025 Kenya Sustainability Brand Awards.
