In a positive demonstration of corporate social responsibility, H&M Foundation has donated US$200,000 to the floods in India in Bangladesh, supporting the work of Save the Children. Currently, 1·3 million children are out of school, and 16,000 schools—12,000 in India and 4,000 in Bangladesh—have been damaged or destroyed.
Elisabeth Dahlin, CEO of Save the Children Sweden, said, ‘Education is a critical factor in this kind of emergency response. Lost education jeopardizes the safety of children and can increase the risk of child labour and trafficking.’
H&M’s donation is focused on education. ‘Hundreds of thousands of children could fall permanently out of the school system if education isn’t prioritized in the relief efforts,’ said Diana Amini, Global Manager of H&M Foundation.
Save the Children has set up temporary learning spaces so classes can resume, is distributing back-to-school kits with basic learning materials along with relief items including hygiene kits, food and water, and providing psychosocial support.
