“Pamela Intelligent visited KGS with Koolskools to be a part of Mr. Ogbhemhe’s two weeks of Fairtrade.Koolskools works with men and women in the likes of Mauritius to help provide them with a steady income for both farmers and workers as well as providing Fairtrade clothing to the world.
Pamela (a worker at the Koolskools Fairtrade-licensed factory) says that it was meeting and working with Koolskools that improved her situation and that without them, she would be either working the same stressful jobs with little pay or not earning at all. But as Koolskools said, we are the lucky ones to have met Pamela and to have heard her life story.”

Some Other Testimonials…
“As a school, we have been absolutely delighted with the service that we have received from Kool Skools….
…..Koolskools have really supported our school on its Fairtrade journey, in every way they possibly could. It’s so much more than just ordering sweatshirts – we are learning about the ethos behind Fairtrade and the story behind the uniform we are wearing.This work has led to high impact learning experiences for the whole school…
…The sweatshirts supplied are of the highest quality, too, and are delivered to us in timely fashion every time we need them…
…We highly recommend this company to any school which is interested in Global Citizenship and would like to consider supplying Fairtrade uniform for its pupils.”
Dawn Maloney, Leith Primary School, Scotland
I was keen for our school to source Fairtrade Uniforms and when Koolskools emailed me I got in touch with them a few years ago. Since then we have had many meetings and we have developed a very good relationship with the company. We put in our first order for a set of purple hoodies for our Peer Mentors, since then we have put in orders for our polo shirts and sweatshirts. The quality of their product is excellent and the pupils have commented on this. I have always found them to be a very friendly and supportive company to work with.Koolskools also offer to deliver assemblies and lessons on Fairtrade to schools. We have had assemblies delivered in our school and this makes the link for the students much more real about where their school uniform comes from. They are a very professional team of people to work with. I would highly recommend this company for their hard work and enthusiasm in delivering high quality Fairtrade school uniforms.
Clare MacRobbie, Cathays High School, Wales
We are always impressed with the service provided by Koolskools. Their products are of great quality. They are always quick to respond to our questions and to get our orders to us on the date they have forecast. It is great to be supporting Fairtrade with such a fabulous company.
School office, East Sheen Primary School, Surrey
The service provided by KoolSkools has been great. The team are very accommodating and helpful and the quality of the polo shirts we get is excellent. The school is pleased to be able to supply Fairtrade polos and we are delighted that parents and students know that their PE and summer shirts are ethically sourced. We would recommend this supplier to other schools without hesitation.
