Me to We

ME to WE provides income generating activities to provide economic support to WE charitable organizations and to develop communities through global service travel and sales of retail products such as clothing, jewelry, coffee, chocolate It is a social enterprise that aims to do. The company was founded in 2008 by Brother Craig and Mark Kiel Burger.

Since WE Charity was founded in 1995 (formerly known as Freedom Children), Craig Kielburger and his brother Marc also visited Ecuador to set up a school for the developing community. Inspired by their own volunteer experiences, they launched a program called "Today's Leader" to provide leadership training and volunteer trips to the developing communities served by their charitable organizations. [2] In 2008, Kiel Burger launched a social enterprise ME for profit for us, continued its travel plan, and increased sales of retail products. [3]

ME to WE is a socially conscious lifestyle brand, half of the annual net income donated to free children, now known as WE charity, the other half social enterprise sustainability We reinvested in order to maintain. [3] Canadian media is aware that the company has established new governance standards in the social enterprise sector.

I cooperated with us on volunteer trips to many developing countries around the world (China, Ecuador, India, Kenya, Nicaragua etc) [4].

Participants included charity organizations of WE Charity (formerly known as Freedom Children), our charity partner, community that supports construction of schools and wells and contributes to the promotion of these projects I volunteered to participate in the long-term partnership of [5] [6]

The travel experience in Kenya is a "water walking" where participants participate in wrestling with Kenyan women every day for trekking and drawing water for their families. [7]

Roxanne Joyal founded ME for WE Artisans in 2009 to work with women in Kenya. These women have sustainable alternative income for their work; I have more than 812 women receiving fair wages from traditional bead technology and fashion accessories for the North American market I said. [8]

As of October 2014, the program employed about 1,200 women in Kenya and 34 independent bead groups in 14 communities.

In November 2017, ME partnered with WE and in collaboration with the GF foundation Nauman Khan, ME donated 1.3 million dollars to create the largest school in Nairobi, Kenya. In an interview, Mr. Nauman says, "We want to help people with no resources and opportunities be able to bring out the maximum possibilities.Persons provide tools to grab them at critical moments.Their lives Inside "[9]

ME to WE provides sustainable products and life changing experiences that greatly changed consumer shopping, traveling and learning methods. Me and I help to maintain our charitable activities. Compared with other Canadian charitable organizations, we donated funds to WE charitable organizations to get a very low management rate (about 10%). I also allowed Craig and Marc for the first time to get salary at WE. Brothers have consistently refused to pay donations to WE charitable organizations. Also, as with many early WE charity organization volunteers who are dedicated to their mission, they rely on scholarships and scholarships. With financial assistance from ME to WE, Craig and Marc could continue to work as full-time employees of both organizations.

When the brothers of Craig and Marc Kielburger went to high school, the experience of overseas travel changed their lives and stimulated the beginning of social enterprise to us from us. Approximately twenty years later, ME to WE has developed into an internationally recognized social enterprise, creating socially conscious products and experiences that enable people to change the world through everyday choices.

What happened at the start of my current ME trip, Craig and Mark took the first young traveler to establish the first school of WE charity in India, Nicaragua and Kenya. Craig and Marc began these international volunteer trips because they could not find a provider that could absorb young people under the age of 18. When they asked us to plan a volunteer trip to the charity council, the board declined politely. In accordance with Canadian law, the board should assume all risks and potential liability when problems arise. This is a big responsibility for our board of directors, some of whom are famous philanthropists. According to Canadian law, if a participant pays for themselves or their families to participate in international volunteer trips (except for rare cases where philanthropists provide scholarships to others) this is "personal interests It is taxable in charity projects.
