Uniforms 4 Kids (U4K) is a not-for-profit charity, and a world first program which repurposes donated law enforcement, emergency services and Australia Zoo uniforms (which would have otherwise been disposed of) into beautiful and unique clothes for children who have a need, no matter who they are or where they are located, we do not distinguish.
U4K hopes that the repurposing of uniforms into clothing for children in need will help to remove physical barriers that prevent children from going to school. With new clothing, a child will be more likely to stay for the day, learning and retaining the information they are taught, and in doing so, helps them take advantage of their best opportunity to break the cycle of poverty — their education.
Our Aims and Objectives:
Our objective is to repurpose donated law enforcement, emergency services and Australia Zoo uniforms with the aim to provide:
– Unique clothing to children who have a need no matter who or where they are,
– An opportunity for law enforcement and emergency services organisations to build legitimacy and trust with communities,
– An opportunity for retirees and other community members to support a charitable program, build social cohesion and expand their social networks,
– An opportunity for children and the wider community to understand the importance of respecting our natural environment and fauna,
– An opportunity to recycle, be more sustainable and reduce landfill; and
– An opportunity for uniforms to continue to protect and serve.
