Our Schools
Here at Kotn, our schools are integral to everything that we do. They bring meaning to our mission in a way that nothing else can. Like we have since the beginning, this past year, we continued to donate a portion of all sales towards our school initiatives in rural Egypt, and for the fourth Black Friday in a row, we opted out of a sale.
From Black Friday to Cyber Monday, 100% of our proceeds went towards building three more schools for our farmers’ children in the Nile Delta and Faiyum, Egypt—bringing our total number to ten. Fueled by your support, we did this in hopes of increasing the literacy rates in rural Egypt, giving the children of the communities we work within a space to recognize the boundless potential that they already have.
This past fall with funds raised in 2019, we built three more schools—opening the doors to another 117 children, their families and their communities to take their next step forward.
A YEAR IN REVIEW
We have always been driven by our desire to find beauty in the ordinary. In spite of this year’s obstacles, it was one of our most memorable yet: we celebrated our fifth anniversary, hit significant milestones and found a new rhythm in an uncertain world.
