UNIQLO today announces the launch of five projects around the world to help disadvantaged children by addressing educational disparity and poverty, under its Clothes for Smiles community outreach initiative. The projects include libraries and vocational centers in developing countries, working with world's top-ranked professional men's tennis player and UNIQLO Global Brand Ambassador Novak Djokovic.

UNIQLO and Mr. Djokovic jointly initiated the Clothes for Smiles Project with the aim of helping disadvantaged children worldwide, and UNIQLO has earmarked JPY 1 billion in funding. Under the Project, UNIQLO solicited the public for proposals for projects that achieve its aim, receiving 739 from 46 countries. UNIQLO is working with Japanese non-profit organization Entrepreneurial Training for Innovative Communities (ETIC) to implement eight of these.
