THE POWER OF CLOTHING / UNIQLO Sustainability

2013.01 CLOTHING ASSISTANCE IN JORDAN

Our first report from the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan. We have visited a number of refugee camps in 11 countries but the trip to the Middle East has been our first experience. Jordan receives many refugees from places such as Syria, Iraq and Palestine.

180,000 out of 3,000,000 garments collected through the All-Product Recycling Initiative in June 2012 were delivered to Syrian refugees in the hope that the items may provide some protection against the winter cold.

This report focuses on the emergency clothing aid that we provided with the help of the (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and Japan Emergency NGO (JEN).
