JustWorld focuses its efforts on providing nutrition, education, healthcare and leadership programs to children around the world, as the organization believes that these are the four essential pillars needed to build a brighter future. Longines’ support has assisted in all of these areas, but especially in the critical area of providing nutrition.Jessica Newman, Founder and Executive Director of JustWorld emphasized, “While learning the fundamentals of education and becoming an educated member of society is crucial, food is an undeniable necessity. Longines brings not only valuable and practical help, but they are influencing the foundation of our programs. Feeding these children offers a chance to break the gridlock in which the surrounding society has placed them, by providing the most basic of needs so that we can continue our mission to educate, care for, and develop children in ways that their own communities cannot. The funds contributed by Longines are making a significant impact to aid in our mission.”Making a Difference, Step by StepWalter von Känel, President of Longines: "We congratulate our partner for the excellent work it does. Longines has always been aware that creating the best possible conditions for young people to grow up is the key for a better future. This is why our support to JustWorld International, an institution combining its dedication for the well-being of children with its passion for equestrian sports, is so important for us.""I used to say to our donors that the important thing is not so much the amount given, but rather the number of donors and donations," Newman said. "The repeated generosity of Longines as a partner during some of the biggest international equestrian events has made a huge impact. Through their concept of "Longines Clear The Jump" which took place in venues including Lyon (France), St. Gallen (Switzerland), Paris and Chantilly (France) and Los Angeles (CA) has shown their true commitment to make a difference in the daily lives of these children." Newman continued, “Thanks to Longines, 3,500 children will benefit from adequate nutrition, which will in turn assist in promoting a better learning environment. This generous act goes to show that even just one initiative can make a true difference in the lives of those in need."Longines and JustWorld gather around common core values such as sharing, raising awareness, mutual aid, and openness to others. It is these common values that make the partnership a perfect match.“I am proud to count Longines among our most loyal partners, and I am convinced that we are only at the beginning of a long and beautiful journey, of which children around the world will benefit greatly,” Newman concluded.About JustWorld InternationalJustWorld International is a not-for-profit, humanitarian organization that funds life-changing education, nutrition, health and hygiene, and leadership and cultural development programs for impoverished children in Cambodia, Honduras, Guatemala, and Colombia.JustWorld International is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization in the United States and a registered Association 1901 in France.
