This year’s Field Report is a curation of the voices of our team, our teachers and our students across the globe, through the lens of how COVID-19 shaped their 2020.

It explores what challenges were presented, what opportunities and new skills were revealed, and what COVID-19 meant for supported communities.

Each of the regions we support experienced last year in a different way, as did all of the Cotton On Foundation teams on the ground. These teams each selected a word to describe how they adapted to the challenges of a year like 2020:

INNOVATION in Uganda

RESILIENCE in South Africa

GROWTH in Thailand

And COMMUNITY in Australia

And while it was certainly a year like no other, it was not a year without wins! Here are some of the things the Cotton On Foundation achieved in 2020:

$1M AUD over 3 years committed to Australian programs

3,372 home visits in Uganda

31,250 cooked meals provided in Thailand

20,045 PPE items distributed in South Africa

1,599,725 masks sold (and counting), raising an incredible $7,671,487 AUD

The ups, the downs, and everything in between – our 2020 Field Report has it all.
