Lululemon teams up with UN to help aid workers

09/10/2019
Canadian yogawear brand lululemon has committed $1 million over three years to address the mental and physical health of United Nations humanitarian workers.

The initiative, Peace on Purpose, provides access to mindfulness and self-care resources “to build resilience in the face of adversity and stressful environments”.

Calvin McDonald, CEO of lululemon, said: “Lululemon and the UN Foundation share a commitment to building community and developing collaborative solutions for some of the world’s most pressing issues.

“With increasing need for international humanitarian aid and peacekeeping, we want to cultivate the long-lasting benefits of mindfulness tools and sustain support for those whose mission is to serve others.”

“UN workers are on the front lines of global challenges, helping people in their times of greatest need,” said Kathy Calvin, President and CEO of the UN Foundation. “This work can often be stressful, and the UN has made it a priority to address the well-being of its people. Innovative partnerships like Peace on Purpose can support the UN workers who support the world.”
