About This Project

Summary

Royal Apparel Group has grown into one of Kenya’s leading textile exporters by showing that ethical manufacturing and business growth can go hand-in-hand. The company’s expansion is transforming Kenya’s manufacturing industry. Much of this expansion has been made possible by the company’s women employees, who are learning skills and achieving leadership roles that would never be possible otherwise.

Goals & Objectives

By 2033, 1.2 billion young people will reach working age but the global job market will only create a fraction of jobs, leaving millions without a path to economic prosperity. To show how job growth is possible, we profile one of Kenya’s leading textile exporters and their expansion for success.

Results & Impact

Close to 2,000 listens reflect steady engagement with the story of how ethical manufacturing in Kenya is not only driving export growth but empowering women with skills, stability, and leadership roles.
