Making A Better World
by Rick Goings
 The desire to make this a better world is woven into every aspect of our culture at Tupperware Brands. It is part of our DNA as a company and as individuals—that is why we all enjoy what we do so much and like being a part of this global family.
Tupperware’s focus has always been on helping one person at a time. Our business and social investment strategies enlighten, educate, and empower women and girls. This mission is a natural fit for our company and aligns with everything we do and everything we stand for. And now, we want to step up our efforts; be louder, more vocal, more unified.

A Swiss-Sierra Leone Lifeline
As Anne Prisco learned about the plight of the children in Sierra Leone, she knew she had to do something to help  them. In Sierra Leone, children ages 14 and under comprise 44 percent of the population--and 25 percent of them die before the age of 5. If the children do survive, their mothers usually cannot afford to send them to school.
Anne, a Team Marketing Analyst in Nyon, Switzerland who joined TWB 19 years ago, needed a plan. Building on a relationship her manager, Christian Skröder, has with the Swiss Sierra Leone Development Foundation, Anne set out to help send more of those children to school.
