we are:- 
A social enterprise founded by Akintunde Disu  with the aim to impact on the planet for good. We have created a lifestyle following on social media and are about to move to the next stage scaling the business 

On the beach we found our calling surrounded by kids clever and bright, innocent to the challenges life will throw in their paths due to a lack of a basic education, and swamped by the plastic deposited twice a day by the tides ruining their environment and stealing their lively hood by killing the fish in the oceans .

We decided to make a change. By developing a sustainable model which did not rely on charity or government, we began 3 years ago with a grant from a local bank GTbank used to start making limited-edition African wax print shorts. Waterproofed using an artisanal method we formulated ourselves, as a way of funding our efforts to improve the lives of the children through popbeachclub 

But this process is hard to scale, and didn't address the issue of plastic pollution which was hard to ignore. Never the less we had a great deal of success. In our first year we built a classroom; a simple structure that doubled the intake of the school so that all the kids in the surrounding environment could now attend classes. The morale of the teachers was greatly improved, the parents were excited and the school became a point of pride in the community. In the second year we updated the furniture.

  Basic education should be within the reach of everyone, by 2025 there shall be 1 ton of plastic to 3 tons of fish in the oceans  tipping point - source ecowatch.com Our project when successfully funded creates a platform to address the problems of plastic proliferation killing the oceans and the low literacy rates coming out of Africa       We would also be raising the consciousness of consumers globally for the need to demand the worlds major clothing manufacturers use recycled polyester.

We are :-
Education is part of the basic human rights agreed on by the United Nations charter we as human beings most come together to help solve the appalling rate of child literacy in Africa 

Swimming trunks are part of everyone’s wardrobe. By using recycled plastic bottles we are able to emotionally and physically remind you, in a beautiful way, of the challenges our planet and the less fortunate kids on it face, and the power that everyone has to help.

We have created sturdy and sophisticated clothing items. With your help we will be able to impact literacy rates, reduce landfill waste, reduce ocean pollution and increase youth employment, in some of the most beautiful and desperate areas. 

A pair of shorts could save our world  Please contribute generously  What We Need & What You Get The funds £18700 will be used to specifically order the fabric required to scale and cover the costs associated with this campaign  Our perks include The shorts themselves which would make you look good and feel good on the beach this summer

If we fail reach our goal through this platform you would still have contributed to us reaching our goal using funds available from our regular business selling wax print cotton shorts and running a beach club  The Impact By helping us reach our goal you would have helped to create a brand which is  Dedicated to impacting on the standards and quality of primary education in Africa we believe if kids are empowered with literacy they shall break free of the poverty circle using the current and future technology through a phone to access the web to leap frog the obstacles to secondary education they face today  Able to instantly impact on the standard, quality and access to primary education for approximately 1000 children within our pilot region  Would have recycled approximately 60000  to produce the yarn to weave the cloth to make the minimum order 10,000 metres of fabric we are ordering from the mills.  

Risks & Challenges In the event of our chosen suppliers being unable to meet our requirements we have back up suppliers in Asia and in the USA which we will proceed with. With the current political situation around the world creating a global company has its unique risks we shall be carrying out fulfilment from Asia to surmount import restrictions for this project.

In the event that we face huge demand we have back up suppliers and manufacturers to help us scale. we have carried out a critical path analysis and are prepared. We have worked in the fashion business in manufacturing and in project management and are comfortable of our abilities to face the challenges and scale them  Other Ways You Can Help
