WHY THE NEW UNIFORMS?

  • It is made from a heavier and more comfortable material which means the girls don’t have to wear a petticoat and the uniforms do not tear easily.
  • It has a pleat which makes it play friendly for the children especially the Brownies.
  • It is more attractive and fancier as it has the logos on it so it resonates well with the young girls.
  • The new uniform is cost friendly.
  • KGGA has ensured standardization of the uniform in terms of the shade of colour, design and quality thus creating uniformity.

 

The uniforms can be purchased from the Kenya Girl Guides Association Headquarters

The Uniforms are produced by the Kibera Girls Centre Production Unit which is a Kenya Girl Guides Association project that seeks to economically empower less privileged girls to help them be self reliant.(Other products from the Kibera Girl Centre Production unit are: bags, scarves, cushions, oven gloves, hair ties, mats, beaded jewellery, aprons and other tailor made garments)
