IKEA Foundation to send 150,000 mattresses, quilt covers and quilts to UNHCR refugee camps


IKEA in collaboration with UPS will contribute to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugee's (UNHCR) work for refugees reaching Tunisia by sending 50,000 mattresses, 50,000 quilt covers and 50,000 quilts, the latter especially adapted to the often harsh conditions in the refugee camps.

UNHCR established its presence in Tunisia on February 24th 2011 to respond to the mass influx of people crossing into Tunisia to escape the violence in Libya. IKEA Foundation manages social involvements on a global level. The mission of IKEA Social Initiative is to improve the rights and life opportunities of the many children - fighting for children's rights to a healthy and secure childhood with access to quality education.

IKEA is a leading home furnishings retailer with 321 stores in 38 countries worldwide, which are visited by 565 million people every year. In 2010 the IKEA.com websites attracted 711 million visitors.
