Elimes Outfit, the Pan-African luxury menswear brand led by Creative Director and CEO Elijah Badmus, has announced a groundbreaking social-impact initiative designed to empower over 200 partially disabled Africans every year through world-class vocational fashion training.

This initiative is set to become one of Africa’s largest and most sustainable empowerment programmes within the fashion industry. It is structured to train a minimum of 50 participants every quarter—ensuring more than 200 beneficiaries per annum.

Central to this vision is the establishment of a fully equipped industrial training and production facility, projected to be completed within the next year and a half to two years.

This state-of-the-art centre, to be located either in Ghana or Nigeria, will be capable of supporting the projected annual training
capacity while offering a dignified, professional environment for participants to learn, create, and grow.



The programme will provide world-class training in tailoring, garment construction, machine operation, finishing techniques, and industrial production, while equipping participants with strong employability
skills to support long-term self-sustainability.

According to CEO Elijah Badmus:

“True luxury must empower. At Elimes Outfit, we are building a future where every African—regardless of physical limitations—can participate meaningfully in value creation. Training more than 200 people with disabilities every year isn’t charity; it is our contribution to building a fair, dignified and prosperous
Africa.”

Beyond training, Elimes Outfit is also creating a Pan-African recruitment pipeline to connect top fashion brands with skilled graduates under fair and rewarding compensation structures.

This system aims to reduce inequality, raise craftsmanship standards, and uplift differently-abled Africans within the fashion production value chain.

The initiative has earned praise from development advocates and industry observers as a model for socially responsible luxury in Africa.



This announcement aligns with Elimes Outfit’s ongoing expansion across West, East, Central, Southern, and Northern Africa, strengthening its reputation as one of the continent’s most transformative brands.

With this ambitious programme, Elimes Outfit is not only redefining African luxury—it is redefining
African empowerment.
