During the span of 24 hours on Nov. 20, more than 15,000 Amway business owners and employees mobilized to serve children’s causes in their communities. In 57 countries, together they volunteered 35,425 service hours through 304 projects benefitting more than 100,000 children. The Amway One By One Campaign for Children Universal Children’s Day was the culmination of activities celebrating the Campaign’s 10th anniversary.
“Amway is a people business, and our people live and work in communities all across the world,” said Todd Woodward, vice president for Amway brand, public relations and corporate social responsibility. “For one day, we aligned as a global company to make the lives of the children and families in the communities we serve a little better.”
Specific programs included: Amway Thailand and the Thai Society Foundation collaborated with the Border Patrol Police bureau to donate more than 22,000 winter jackets to underprivileged students in remote schools; Amway Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica and El Salvador organized a home building and renovation project with Habitat for Humanity; Amway Japan built a playground for a community house in earthquake-affected regions through its Remember Hope program; Amway Russia assisted at multiple child crisis centers across the country; and the Amway Charity Foundation in China partnered with UNICEF, local education administration authorities and community partners to educate orphans in 100 communities.
In the US, 4,000 Amway World Headquarters employees partnered with 15 nonprofits on 23 separate projects that included the assembly of more than 1,400 bikes and the creation of 10,000 hygiene kits that will provide relief to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
