The IKEA Group and Save the Children partnership began in 1994 and works at both global and local levels. We work together to actualise children's rights to a healthy and secure childhood with access to quality education. By listening to and learning from children, we develop long-term projects that empower communities to create a better everyday life for the many children.
IKEA customers help children-in-need Since it started in 2003 the IKEA Group has raised 6.9 million euro for children in need, from the sales of the IKEA PS BRUM teddy bear and other soft toys. During a period leading up to Christmas, 1 euro for each sold soft toy sold is donated to Save the Children and UNICEF, financing projects that improve children's lives. Read more
In-kind donations and emergency relief aid In emergency situations or situations of need, IKEA Social Initiative helps with in-kind donations and aid, such as donations of IKEA products. For example, supporting the emergency efforts of Save the Children in flood-affected areas of India and Bangladesh. The efforts are concentrated on education, health, and child protection. After the 2004 tsunami the IKEA Social Initiative donated sheets, quilts, blankets, mattresses and toys to Indonesian, Sri Lankan and Indian victims. Donations were also made to improve educational opportunities in war-torn Kosovo.
