Transforming lives through sustainable impact

Over the past 25 years, WE Charity has generated incredible impact for youth, families, and communities around the world.

In schools, the WE Schools service-learning program has empowered hundreds of thousands of students globally with the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to take action on the issues they’re passionate about, creating transformative social change and growing as future-ready global citizens.

Through the WE Villages five-pillar development model, WE Charity has partnered with communities around the world to achieve sustainable change and a brighter future. These community partnerships have resulted in tens of thousands of children being able to go to school and significant improvements in health care, access to clean water, financial literacy training, economic opportunity, and food security, all of which have empowered communities with the capacity to thrive.

Continuing the legacy of work in Kenya: WE Charity Foundation

The legacy that WE Charity Canada began 25 years ago is being continued through the WE Charity Foundation, which has been established to ensure the continued support of key, impactful regional projects in Kenya that will create transformative change for generations. These include a hospital, college, high schools and a women's empowerment centre. All projects are important to the communities in which they operate for large-scale change.
