The current situation of refugees
GU's support activities

Refugees from around the world
Until there's not a single person left.

According to The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), more than 120 million people worldwide are currently forced to flee their homes due to conflict or persecution, fleeing war and oppression. In 2006, the Fast Retailing Group began working with UNHCR to provide support for the growing number of refugees around the world. In 2011, we entered into a global partnership. Our goal is to provide ongoing support to all people who have been forced to flee their homes, regardless of their country of origin or circumstances. In cooperation with UNHCR and various NGOs, we provide comprehensive support to refugees, not only by providing supplies and funds, but also by providing self-reliance support, vocational training, and employment assistance, so that they can live independently.
