DHAKA – Fashion conglomerate PVH Corp, which owns the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein brands, has partnered with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to launch a new US$5 million project in Bangladesh that’ll support female workers.
Project Thrive aims to reach more than 100,000 women in the country over the next five years, with the onus on expanding Gap Inc’s Personal Advancement and Career Enhancement (PACE) programme to those in the sector keen to learn more and improve their position.
“I’m looking forward to seeing the excitement among suppliers when they get to know the launch of Project Thrive on such a large scale,” commented Bushra Baten, PVH’s corporate responsibility manager.
