PoPbeachclub is seeking to raise funds to manufacture the first batch of a new design of shorts .
Popbeachclub is a social enterprise founded by Akintunde Disu. The aim is 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,We are surrounded by clever and bright Kids,who are 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. This ruins their environment and is stealing their livelihood by killing the fish in the oceans .
We decided to make a change, to develop a sustainable model which did not rely on charity or government ,3 years ago we started making limited-edition African wax print shorts these are waterproofed using an artisanal method we formulated ourselves. A fixed amount from this goes to funding our efforts to improve the lives of the children by supporting literacy through primary education
But this process is hard to scale, and doesn't address the issue of plastic pollution which is 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 by this, 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 .
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

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
