Investing in people

BANGLADESH, ALL YEAR ROUND

In our Bangladesh office, a number of contract cleaners are young men under the age of 25 who often come from disadvantaged communities. Our colleagues there developed a curriculum to help them improve their English and teach them general information about our business, etiquette, health and safety and life skills to open up opportunities including completing their education and gaining work prospects.

Girls reaching their potential

GLOBAL, ALL YEAR ROUND

In Qinghai China, nomadic tribal beliefs are deep-rooted and being born a girl is widely considered to be penance for wrongdoings in a previous life. Many girls are orphaned or abandoned and end up in poor conditions where they are badly treated. Even though education is available for many of them it is not a realistic option. Over US$272,560 has been raised by Li & Fung colleagues, including matching from the Foundation, to support a brighter future for girls at the Seng Girls Vocational Training School.
