Giving is Winning is a joint IOC-UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) project in the run-up to the Summer Olympic Games. You – National Olympic Committees, Federations, sponsors, Recognised Organisations, members and supporters of the Olympic Movement are encouraged to donate unused sports and casual clothes, which will then be distributed by the UNHCR to various refugee camps around the globe. This campaign was successfully launched for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, and close to 30,000 items were collected. 

Did you know that there are over 20 million refugees and internally displaced people in the world? Every item counts! So join our worldwide team and help us collect clothes for some of the needy millions. The Olympic Movement cares. Let’s share the joy of sport!

 

    

FOLLOW THE 2008 CAMPAIGN  Thanks to your generosity, 75,000 items of clothing or 16 containers were collected in the framework of the Beijing Olympic Games.  Thank you for your solidarity.
