A WORD FROM
OUR GENERAL MANAGER
Welcome… to our 2015 Cotton On Foundation Field Report!
It’s been a long and incredibly rewarding journey for everyone
involved, since we launched the Cotton On Foundation in
2007. Measureable community impact has been our focus,
doing our part, and aligning our work to the United Nation’s
focus of ending poverty by 2030.
Our mantra has always been to work with communities in
the most remote areas, as these are the people who tend
to be forgotten. The cold hard fact is that most kids in
Southern Uganda aren’t receiving an education. More than
half of the population in South Africa live below the poverty
line, and Australian indigenous communities share many of
the issues that third world countries often do.

the funds we’ve raised and importantly, how many people’s
lives have been changed. We believe that
our stakeholders should be proud of their contribution,
and be able to follow their dollar.
With that in mind, we’ve put together our first Field Report
so that you can keep track of what we’re doing, and how your
contributions are spent to empower young people
and communities in need.
It’s really rewarding to be able to work for a company that
is so invested in giving back to communities in need.
Thank you to our customers, team members and supporters
globally – you’re truly changing lives in a positive way.

Through the generous support of our customers and team
members, we will break the cycle of poverty and help
change these people’s lives.
Our customers and team ARE the Cotton On Foundation. So
it’s important that we share what we’ve learned along the way,
