By taking a vow of silence in solidarity with those who go unheard, we can prove just how big of a difference we can make. With a WE Are Silent fundraiser, the donations will go toward the WE Villages Education Pillar of Impact. Education is the cornerstone of a sustainable community, and for every $50 raised one child will be able to go to school, giving them the tools to advocate for their basic rights and secure a livelihood.

This day marks the United Nations Universal Children’s Day, which signifies and offers a platform to advocate, promote and celebrate children’s rights—that’s why WE is choosing this day to go silent. On November 20, speak up with silence and give a voice to those whose rights are not upheld.
