The Purpose of the Retail Orphan Initiative (RetailROI) is to raise awareness and provide real solutions for the more than 400 million vulnerable children worldwide.

RetailROI has 3 primary goals:

Bring Awareness to the enormous needs of orphans worldwide:

  • There are over 143 Million Orphans in the world, according to UNICEF.

  • If Orphans were a country, they would be the 8th largest…larger than Russia.

  • A child dies every 5.2 seconds….that’s over 16,000 children EVERY DAY.

  • In the NY foster care system, 60% of children who age out end up homeless.

  • More children age out of care systems in 1 week than are adopted in an entire year.

Encourage companies (Retailers, Vendors, Manufacturers) to create programs internally for their companies to help with the need:

  • Be mentors for foster kids in your area

  • Provide non-paid leave for employees who adopt or who are foster parents

  • Establish grant or no-interest loan programs for employees who want to adopt

Raise Funds through the following ways to help “feet on the street” charities who are making a real difference:

  • Direct donations from companies and individuals

  • Making RetailROI a charity that receives matching funds from your company

  • Specially marked packages of toys, cereals, and clothing for kids

  • RoundUp for Orphans at the point-of-sale where consumers can round up their transactions to the nearest $


 

Starting in 2022 100% of all RetailROI donations are going directly to helping orphans and vulnerable children.
