It all began with a trip for an adventure .In 2015, co-founders Abdallah and Raj pressed pause on their Silicon Valley tech careers and flew to Ghana to volunteer with an international non-profit. They expected to help build classrooms — but what they discovered was far more urgent: village after village without clean water, children walking miles for unsafe water, and schools where education thrived but safe, clean, and accessible water remained a privilege.

Under a dusty sunset sky, they sketched an idea: what if fashion could fund the future? PLANET MODE was born.
