Donating Schoolbags Made from Old Airplane Seats to Ethiopian Students | Aircrafted KIDS by Emirates

Aircrafted KIDS by Emirates is breathing new life into our aircraft seats, by upcycling them into schoolbags and donating them to children in need all around the world. Our next stop takes us to Ethiopia. Roots Ethiopia and Brave Hearts Ethiopia serve local communities by creating a nurturing and inspirational space, for financially disadvantaged youths to continue their education. With a longstanding legacy of supporting youth, and a particular focus on education, Emirates aims to support students from both organisations with their schooling, by providing practical, stylish backpacks and stationery supplies. The initiative reinforces the airline’s commitment to ‘connecting communities’ by building enduring relationships and making meaningful differences in the destinations it serves. From retired seats to functional backpacks, see the transformation that's making a difference in the lives of young students, and helping build a brighter future for their communities.
