MÉS is a partnership between FC Barcelona, Nike and UNHCR to bring sport and education to underprivileged youth and refugees around the world.

MÉS is a partnership between FC Barcelona, Nike and UNHCR to bring sport and education to underprivileged youth and refugees around the world. The net proceeds from the sale of MÉS-branded products will be distributed through the FC Barcelona Foundation and UNHCR's ninemillion.org campaign to raise awareness and fund projects which contribute to sports and education for some of the most disadvantaged youth in the world. For example, UNHCR’s, ninemillion.org campaign is committed to providing refugee and internally displaced children around the world the chance to learn and play.

ninemillion.org ensures that refugee children have access to the full education cycle, including safe and quality education, vocational training, life skills training, access to computer technologies, and recreation and sport programs.

UNHCR recognizes the power of sport to help counteract psychosocial problems and environmental and health issues, as well as stress and loneliness, providing a safe forum in which a child can develop physically, emotionally and mentally, besides developing the trusting relationships that help them become valued parts of a community.

Football Club Barcelona Foundation is a non-for-profit organization that uses sport in general and football especially, to promote an integral support to vulnerable children and youth in several areas of the world, with programs that promote education, health care, nutrition, psychosocial support, gender equity and access to safe water and sanitation for those children and their communities.

These kind of programs play a key role in developing kids’ social skills, strengthen their self-esteem and help them build the confidence to resist being exploited and abused. Sports help bring communities together and teaches youth basic life skills and key values that they will use for the rest of their lives.
