The Estée Lauder Companies launched a pilot initiative in FY2016, providing corporate funds and resources to support education programs across 11 global cities and communities. The Estée Lauder Companies Initiative for Girls’ Education takes a holistic, wrap-around approach by supporting local grassroots organizations that address education from the ground up, in tandem with health, counseling, out-of-school tutoring, extracurricular activities, social support, family support, life-skills training, entrepreneurial skills-building, and mentorship.
