Our mission
At Zetu Bags, we’re on a mission to provide quality, sustainable products while empowering education in Africa. For every Zetu Bag you purchase, we donate a SeatPack, a durable schoolbag that transforms into a chair and desk, giving children a comfortable place to learn, wherever they are.

Designing to empower the next generation
We create thoughtfully designed bags that help make education more accessible. For every bag sold, we gift a SeatPack – a schoolbag that turns into a chair with a writing surface – to a schoolchild in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Working together with the Zetu Africa Foundation
We work closely together with Zetu Foundation – a small, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to making education more accessible across Sub-Saharan Africa. Through eco-friendly, carefully designed SeatPacks, Zetu Foundation provides children in rural schools with places to sit and write during class.
