Building Stronger School Communities
We're on a mission to transform how school communities connect, share, and support each other across Kenya.
Our Story
tuckshop was born from a simple observation: parents were using WhatsApp groups to buy and sell school items, but the process was chaotic, unsafe, and inefficient.
We saw schools with outdated websites that parents never visited, and local retailers struggling to reach new customers without expensive expansion.
So we built tuckshop—a platform that brings these three groups together in a trusted, easy-to-use marketplace that benefits everyone.
Our Mission
To empower school communities across Kenya with digital tools that foster connection, reduce costs, and create economic opportunities.
Our Vision
A Kenya where every school has a thriving digital marketplace, and every parent can easily access affordable school supplies within their trusted community.
