Description
The WWS Charitable Fund is neither funded nor operated by the government. The Fund’s administrative expenses are borne by its largest corporate partner, Giordano, and funds are raised through its own fundraising activities as well as the support and donations from Giordano employees, its business partners and the community at large. The WWS Charitable Fund allocates funds raised to make a difference for people in need. Past projects have ranged from primary education initiatives involving the printing and distribution of educational materials and stationery, helping remote villages in rural China to achieve sustainable development, supporting local ethnic minority students, meal tickets for the underprivileged, supporting orphans and children with disabilities all the way through to rapid response to individuals who have found themselves in emergency financial crisis for which other sources of help may not be available. Good governance, accountability and integrity form the bedrock of the Fund.
