Educational partnerships and school collaboration

For over two decades, Image First Limited has been more than a uniform supplier – we've been a partner in education, working hand-in-hand with over 200 schools across Kenya to support student success and institutional excellence.

Our Partnership Philosophy

We believe that quality uniforms contribute significantly to the educational environment:

  • Student Confidence: Well-fitted, high-quality uniforms boost self-esteem
  • School Pride: Distinctive designs that reflect each institution's unique identity
  • Equality: Uniforms that level the playing field regardless of economic background
  • Focus: Eliminating clothing decisions to concentrate on learning

Collaborative Design Process

Every school partnership begins with understanding the institution's unique needs:

  • In-depth consultations with school leadership
  • Student and parent feedback sessions
  • Climate and activity-specific considerations
  • Budget optimization and value engineering

Supporting Academic Excellence

Our partnerships extend beyond uniforms to support educational goals:

  • Scholarship Programs: Supporting deserving students' educational journeys
  • Skills Development: Apprenticeship programs for students interested in fashion and manufacturing
  • Career Guidance: Exposing students to career opportunities in textile industry
  • Educational Visits: Facility tours to inspire STEM interest
