About Africa Trade Promotion

Africa Trade Promotion (ATP) is a sustainability-driven organisation committed to creating value from surplus clothing while empowering communities across Africa. We connect the UK’s circular fashion ecosystem with the growing demand for quality, affordable clothing in African markets — building a responsible, transparent, and impactful supply chain.

Our work bridges sustainability, trade, and social transformation. Through ethical sourcing, strict quality grading, and trusted export partners, we ensure every item collected contributes to reduced waste, increased access, and meaningful economic opportunities.

At the heart of our mission is a simple commitment:
turning excess into empowerment and transforming global surplus into community value.

Our Sustainable Model

Creating value from surplus textiles through responsibility, transparency, and global impact.

We source surplus and unsold fashion items from trusted partners across the UK. Only items in good condition are selected to ensure quality, value, and sustainability from the very start.

Each item is carefully sorted and graded based on quality, category, and market demand. This ensures that African markets receive consistent, high-quality materials that support long-term resale value.

Monitoring & Accountability

Once sorted, items are prepared for export and delivered through reliable logistics channels to key markets across Africa. Our distribution network is built on efficiency, transparency, and trusted partnerships.

Clothes are resold through formal and informal market networks, supporting micro-entrepreneurs, families, and small businesses. This empowers communities while creating new streams of economic activity.

From collection to community impact, our process ensures sustainability that genuinely transforms lives.
