PAVING THE WAY FOR EDUCATION
Since 2017, Gildan has partnered with Room to Read in Bangladesh to support the Girls’ Education Program in the country and strengthen access to education for girls. This partnership addresses common gender barriers and imparts valuable life lessons for girls.
EMPOWERMENT THROUGH FINANCIAL EDUCATION
Since 2023, Gildan has been partnering with World Vision in Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic to support economic independence, empowering female Gildan employees with competencies in finance, gender, and entrepreneurship. This program will allow women to grow professionally within Gildan and personally.
ENHANCING LEARNING EXPERIENCES WITH SAFE LEARNING SPACES
Gildan regularly invests in improving school infrastructure in our regions of operation, allowing students to enjoy safer school environments. For instance, we supported the construction and furnishing of Monte San Juan School in Rivas in Nicaragua, improving classrooms, student facilities, and school fencing. Similarly, we supported the renovation of a public primary school in Savar, Bangladesh, by repairing roofs and ceilings, installing proper ventilation, and upgrading furniture.
