Larry Rowbs Foundation
Welcome to the Larry Rowbs Foundation! An NGO that has been endorsed by the Christian Ministry Alliance with a mission to help clean up the textile industry and clean up the environment.
​
Our mission is to build a clothing recycling station in Uganda to help boost the economy, clean up the environment, and raise the quality of life.
​
We are based in Uganda, where millions of tonnes of clothes and apparel are donated and 70% of it ending up in landfills or polluting the African environment. We plan to build a recycling facility in Uganda - where we can recycle these textiles into new clothing, create jobs, boost the local economy, and produce new quality clothing made from recycled/sustainable materials.
Our plan for building our facility is expected to take roughly around 5-7 years, however - we need the funds to do so! We know we have big goals, but we have to start somewhere. Our initial goal of $10,000 from donations will allow us to finish the studies we have started as well as selling clothes from recycled/sustainable sources to help fund our initiative.
We have a growing team of volunteers with the knowledge and drive to push our organization to the next level. Our founders are:
Larry Rowbs - 10 years experience in the fashion industry, masters in international trade and bachelors in economics, fashion designer, and an entrepreneur.
Lin Sheppard - 54 years as a successful businessman who has run a number of businesses and who holds an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
Travis Robbins - 7 years of team management experience, service in the Marine Corps and founder of business scaling startup Pains To Profits.
We also are recommended by The Christian Ministry Alliance - A registered 501(c)(3) Corporation with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service
