About SOMB

SOMB is an apparel company founded on the simple model of one sold, one donated. For every item of clothing sold, SOMB gives a school uniform to a child in Africa. SOMB's mission is to ensure that children are not denied an education simply because they cannot afford a school uniform.

We became a B Corp because we wanted to solidify our commitment to social sustainability and provide our customers and business partners with a sense of security in knowing how we do business. Becoming a B Corp is our way of validating the authenticity of our core business principals.

SOMB's school uniform mission transforms its customers into sponsors, allowing the company to grow a truly sustainable partnership, dedicated to helping the children of Africa. This is what SOMB stands for. This is what it is all about.

The Change We Seek®

SOMB's mission is to improve the lives of as many children around the world as possible through providing them with uniforms and enabling them to go to school and get a real education.

• In many African countries, the law requires children to wear school uniforms to attend school. While there are often no direct school fees, many children cannot attend school for the sole reason that their parents are unable to pay for them to have a school uniform. Even where uniforms are not required by law, children who cannot afford them often stay out of school rather than attend in torn and tattered clothing. Those who do attend frequently suffer from bullying and low self-esteem. Without access to an education, many of these children will end up on the streets. SOMB works to provide school uniforms to the children who are most in need, giving them access to an education and the opportunity to realize their potential and achieve a better life.
