Unkara Group Foundation is a nonprofit organization building practical solutions at the intersection of textile waste, circular economy development, education, and economic empowerment. Founded in Nairobi in 2022, Unkara was created in response to the growing environmental and social impact of global fashion waste in developing countries. Across many African communities, discarded secondhand clothing and textile waste overwhelm local systems, damage ecosystems, weaken domestic manufacturing, and limit long-term economic opportunity. Unkara exists to help build a different model.
