15th Annual ROI Super Saturday Event NYC-2024

The Purpose of the Retail Orphan Initiative (RetailROI) is to raise awareness and provide real solutions for the more than 400 million vulnerable children worldwide.

RetailROI has 3 primary goals: Bring Awareness to the enormous needs of orphans worldwide: There are over 143 Million Orphans in the world, according to UNICEF.

If Orphans were a country, they would be the 8th largest…larger than Russia.A child dies every 5.2 seconds…. that’s over 16,000 children EVERY DAY.

In the NY foster care system, 60% of children who age out end up homeless. More children age out of care systems in 1 week than are adopted in an entire year.

 Encourage companies: (Retailers, Vendors, Manufacturers) to create programs internally for their companies to help with the need:

Be mentors for foster kids in your area    Provide non-paid leave for employees who adopt or who are foster parents, establish grant or no-interest loan programs for employees who want to adopt.

Raise Funds:  through the following ways to help “feet on the street” charities who are making a real difference: Direct donations from companies and individuals.

Making RetailROI a charity that receives matching funds from your company, specially marked packages of toys, cereals, and clothing for kids.

Roundup for Orphans at the point-of-sale where consumers can round up their transactions to the nearest $.

Hermen van den Burg has been exposed to consumer trends and tastes for all his live – from the family retail business in his childhood to various international design awards in his adolescent.

Hermen continued to increase his international experience as a shareholder of a home decoration business that exported to 40 countries around the world. Next to these he personally set up various businesses in the Netherlands, the U.S. and China.
