Service concept

UniforAll - connects parents who want to donate, sell or buy school uniforms in good condition at a low price through a digital platform. With the purchase, collection, repair and redistribution of pre-owned uniforms, the platform aims to change the negative perception of reuse and prevent used uniforms from ending up in landfills.
