Ubuntu Life

Kenya’s sustainable fashion scene is setting the bar high. This sustainable style post is inspired by some of Kenya’s trailblazing brands, KikoRomeo, Enda Athletic, Inc., Adele Dejak, Ikojn, and Ubuntu Life, who are redefining fashion with purpose, creativity, and ethical values. We love seeing these homegrown visionaries leading the way, and we can’t wait to connect with more trailblazers shaping the future of fashion. #ASFWNairobi #Sustainablefashion #AfricanFashion #Kenyanfashion #designers

BBC News exposes child sex trade happening in Maai Mahiu, Kenya. Maai Mahiu has been home to Ubuntu Life since Day 1. 25 years ago when I first set foot in Maai Mahiu and started working alongside our Co-Founder Jeremiah Kuria, he introduced me to the painful complex realities of poverty in Kenya. We made a commitment to each other, to God and to the community of Maai Mahiu to focus all of our efforts on creating sustainable opportunities that empower the local community. Much of our passion came from meeting with commercial sex workers and hearing their heartbreaking stories of being trapped in poverty and having no way out. Since then we have created our hybrid nonprofit/for-profit impact model to address these issues & work with the local community to accomplish their goals, lifting themselves out of poverty and bettering their community. So painful to see even after 25 years that not only is prostitution still an issue in our hometown, but now child trafficking. A stinging reminder of how difficult this work is, how committed we must be to see sustainable change thru to its end and the need for persistence of faith in action to oppose such dark forces as these. Big love! https://lnkd.in/dSn5TMka

✨ Our Day Two | The Core Fashion Tour - One Year Anniversary Celebrations ✨ Ubuntu. “I am because we are.” Today, this truth came alive. At Ubuntu Life, we experienced more than fashion—we felt purpose woven into every thread. From apparel that speaks of dignity to programs that support children with neurological differences, Ubuntu Life embodies the heartbeat of collective care. Curated to deepen our understanding of Ubuntu, it was a celebration of shared humanity, love, and craftsmanship. Through the radiant energy of Amal and Zane (thank you Anna Trzebinski for the beautiful introduction), we felt the magic that happens when design meets impact. You all echo BIG LOVE. To the entire Ubuntu team— You had me at hello. And you reminded us that fashion, at its core, should always speak from the heart and for the people. With gratitude, Big Love, Linda Zane Wilemon Anna Trzebinski Connie Aluoch @tumibuys Lisa JK Ubuntu Life UbuntuLife #CoreFashionKenya #DayTwoMagic #FashionWithPurpose #BigLove #SustainableStyle #UbuntuInAction
