Nine million faces. Nine million names. Nine million stories.
They are the world’s forgotten refugee youth. Ninemillion.org is an innovative global campaign that brings attention to these refugees, providing them a chance to change their future through the power of education and sport. The campaign aims to create a global community dedicated to giving the world’s refugee youth the chance to learn and play.
Manpower has engaged with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and its ninemillion.org campaign, which is focused on providing education to the nine million refugee children who are living long term in refugee camps around the world without adequate schooling to provide them with the skills they will need when they are eventually repatriated. Nike Inc., Microsoft and Right to Play are among the founding partners engaged in the ninemillion.org initiative. Other companies supporting this campaign include: Earth Water International, Merck & Co. Inc., and Procter & Gamble.
Manpower Chairman & CEO Jeff Joerres has also invited the company’s more than 33,000 permanent employees across 4,500 offices in 80 countries to get involved and spread the word in their local communities. Manpower operations around the world will be raising awareness, and so can you by visiting ninemillion.org. |
