$98,589 Raised for Children of Haiti at 2019 Retail Global Event

Speedmaster is proud to support Retail Global once again! Along with the support of many other e-commerce partners, Retail Global was able to rasie $98,589 in cash through this year's charity event.

Each year, Retail Global hosts a Gala Charity Networking Event in Australia and the United States to raise money for a charity organisation. This year, Retail Global was raising money for Retail Orphan Initiative. Thanks to Catch Group's Gabby Leibovich, who covers all charity costs, every dollar raised goes directly to Retail Orphan Initiative.

The money raised from this gala will be used to assist Retail Orphan Initiative in re-opening a hospital building in Haiti. This renovated hospital will service around 10,000 people and provide much needed medical support for the local community -something that is severely lacking at the moment.

Along with $100,000 worth of Patch Strips being donated by Nutricare founder James Dutton, Shoes & Sox donated 30,000 pairs of shoes for the children of Haiti. 

Last year, Retail Global took a trip to Haiti with Retail Orphan Initiative where they opened a school for students and provided computer labs for over 1000 students to have access to a first world education. The subsequent Retail Global charity event raised $152,085.


The Story


Access to internet and the content of the world is challenging when you don't have that door to open. CADP have worked to collect numerous offline copies of open source learning material that normally would be inaccessible to developing countries and undeserved locations. With packages like Khan Academy Lite, Wikipedia for Schools, Medline Plus and many more, each tablet in the METL kit gives the user access to a large amount of learning materials -all with no internet access needed.
