At our career fairs, we've always enjoyed connecting with attendees and sharing a piece of our brand through merchandise. It's a tradition that fosters memories and celebrates our community. Yet, as we reflect on the purpose of these events, we recognize an opportunity to extend our impact beyond physical tokens.
With the significant volume of merchandise distributed annually, which equates to approximately 200,000 pens, we've introduced an alternative that aligns with our values of sustainability and social responsibility. While we continue to appreciate the joy that event merchandise brings, we invite you to join us in a new tradition — where you can be part of redirecting these funds to support a cause that makes a lasting difference.
In alignment with EY Ripples, we are proud to announce that we are on a mission to provide underprivileged children in the MENA region (Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Palestine and Saudi Arabia) with essential educational resources. We are collaborating with reputable organizations that focus on delivering vital educational supplies, including:
School supplies: Books, stationery and learning materials to ensure that every child has the tools they needed to succeed.
Technology: Laptops and other digital resources to bridge the educational gap and enhance learning opportunities.
Infrastructure improvements: Support for the development of schools and learning environments that foster growth and creativity.
Upskilling: Support for programs that enhance skills and knowledge, bridging the gap to prepare children for future career opportunities.
By investing in the education of these children, we are not only providing them with access to essential resources but also empowering them to build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
We invite you to join us in this important initiative. Together, we can make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who need it most.
