The Obakki Foundation

In 2009, these were the three questions that Treana Peake of the Obakki Foundation asked 150 children living in orphanages in Cameroon, Africa. Their profound words, thoughts and feelings have been the inspiration for the Obakki Foundation's collection of screen printed t-shirts, scarves and totes.

The Obakki Foundation's key mission is to provide assistance to children, adults and families in developing nations in becoming self-sufficient. The Obakki Foundation partners with individuals, groups and communities to help the inhabitants of local villages to have their voices heard for fundamental rights of health and education. Involvement in the foundation has many different levels, ranging from wearing a product of the Obakki Foundation collection, to finding corporate sponsors and planning events to raise awareness.

100% of the proceeds from all events go straight to helping developing communities create clean water pipe-ways, build schools for children and adults, and providing medical supplies.
