The story of a dress or UNIQLO and UNHCR unlocking the power of clothing for refugees

Description

UNIQLO began its partnership with UNHCR in 2006 by making massive donations of clothing to refugee families. Ever since, our partnership has grown both in scope and scale, to have an incredible impact for refugees across the world. Since 2007, approximately 26 million pieces of clothing have been delivered to 46 countries where UNHCR works. UNHCR’s global and multifaceted partnership with UNIQLO shows the kind of comprehensive support and impact the private sector can have for the refugee cause.
