6 / Letter from our Co-Founder

A Letter from the Co-Founders of WEREFLECTING ON LEGACY AND SUSTAINABLE IMPACT AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO OUR 25TH ANNIVERSARY—From the

beginning, impact has always been our North Star. To this

we now add the word sustainable. As we look back on 2018,

we’re celebrating the many impacts you’ve helped make

possible and how they are setting the stage for sustainable,

transformative change for generations to come.

Together, we have taken an extraordinary journey to get

where we are today. From humble beginnings, starting

in 1995 with a fight to end child labor, to building our

first school in Nicaragua, to developing the WE Villages

model to address the root causes of poverty, WE Charity

has come a long way. Looking ahead to the upcoming 25th

anniversary, we are determined to work together with you

to ensure this incredible impact continues into the future.

This year WE College opened its doors in Kenya, offering

thousands of students the opportunity to pursue post-

secondary education. Among the first graduating class are

young girls who started their education at WE Villages

primary schools and are graduates of the Kisaruni Group

of Schools. This is a shining example of lives that have

truly been transformed through your support of our work:

girls who, instead of facing early marriage and poverty, are

leaders and role models paving the way to bright futures

for their communities.

Closer to home, WE Day Connect is digitizing the WE Day

experience to empower more young change-makers than

ever with the inspiration and tools to make a difference.

And through the upcoming WE Social Entrepreneurship

Centre, young leaders will be empowered to launch and

scale social enterprises to solve society’s greatest social

challenges.

We know that when people are given the right tools and

resources, they achieve extraordinary things—for them-

selves, their communities and around the world. As we

look toward the next 25 years, we know that with your

help, there’s no limit to the impact we can create, not just

now but for generations to come.

Thank you for joining us on our extraordinary journey.

Craig and Marc Kielburger

rectors, we are proud to report that 2018 was another

year of growth, innovation and exciting progress. The

work that WE Charity does is truly inspired and made

possible by the generosity of our partners, champions and

supporters. Through your personal, school, family and/

or corporate commitment, WE Charity is continuing to

grow our impact, inspire change and make an important

difference in the world.

Our Board of Directors is comprised of industry leaders,

activists and humanitarians who are committed to the

ongoing evaluation, auditing, consultation and partnership

that is required to evolve and strengthen the organization,

ensuring that every dollar you contribute is used with

maximum efficiency to deliver the greatest possible im-

pact. As a result, WE Charity has been able to maintain a

significantly lower than industry standard administration

rate. Historically and over the past 10 years, on average

90 cents of every dollar directly go to the projects and

programs you support.

We are also dedicated to ensuring that governance of the

organization is of the highest caliber and integrity—from

the programs WE Charity runs to the relationships and

partnerships we build at home and around the world,

we are dedicated to ensuring that your support is fueling

transformative change.

Through this report, we are thrilled to share some of the

incredible impacts that you, our donors and partners, en-

abled us to bring to life in 2018. We hope you enjoy learning

more about all that has been accomplished this past year

in the pages that follow.

WE DAY CONNECTMay 2018 marked the first interactive, online WE Day,

with two events that each brought together students

and teachers from more than 49 countries to celebrate

acts of volunteerism and showcase how local youth,

schools and community groups act locally and globally to

make a difference.

WE WELL-BEINGWe’re excited to launch WE Well-being, an initiative that

empowers people of all ages with the tools to promote

their own well-being and that of others. With the support

of many people at home, we believe that focusing on this

increasingly important issue will create positive change

for today’s and tomorrow’s generations.

**In 2018, Management and the Board of Directors made the decision to change the fiscal year of WE Charity Canada to a September 1 to August 31 structure to better align with the school year in North America. This change has resulted in this audit being an 8-month audit, from January 1, 2018, to August 31, 2018 (where previous audits were for a 12 month time period). This is particularly relevant when looking at the difference in revenue and expenses compared to previous years.

Our Financial Model

From student-led fundraisers to corporate partnerships,

we ensure all contributions are spent effectively and we

have an industry-leading standard of financial responsi-

bility. Using an asset-based approach, we partner with

community members to empower them to lead change,

offering a hand up instead of a handout.

Historically and over the past 10 years, on average 90 cents

of every dollar directly supports the projects and programs,

enabling us to focus on creating sustainable change where

it matters most. It is thanks to our unique partnership with

ME to WE, our social enterprise, that we can fulfill our

mission and empower young people, families and commu-

nities around the world.

A Unique Partnership with ME to WE

ME to WE is a social enterprise that provides socially conscious products and experiences that allow people to change

the world through their everyday choices. Through our partnership with ME to WE, we are able to achieve a remark-

able rate of financial efficiency. ME to WE, in part, is structured to offset WE Charity’s expenses and help provide pro

bono service at home and abroad. Half of all ME to WE’s profits are donated to support WE Charity, while the other

half is reinvested to grow the mission of the social enterprise. As a Certified B Corporation, ME to WE meets rigorous

standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

Since 2009, ME to WE has donated $20 million in cash and cost offsetting in-kind donations to WE Charity. On average ME to WE donates 50% back to WE Charity. In 2018, they donated 90% of their net profits.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPINGWE Charity is honored to be the first-ever recipient of the

Good Housekeeping Humanitarian Seal. Since 1909, the

Good Housekeeping Seal has served as a symbol of trust

and reliability in a product or service. This new emblem

was developed to give consumers the same confidence

when choosing to support a charitable organization.

MONEYSENSEEach year, MoneySense ranks Canadian charities, big

and small, on how efficiently they use their donations,

their governance, transparency, fundraising costs and

cash reserves. In 2018, WE Charity received an over-

all grade of “A”. When donating to WE Charity, donors

WE Villages: A proven model of holistic, sustainable development

We know poverty isn’t the result of a single cause: that’s

why we created WE Villages, an adaptive, effective five-

pillar model built on more than 20 years of experience

collaborating with dedicated community members and

international development experts. You are part of this

incredible story of change as we partner directly with

communities around the world to find solutions that work.

This model focuses on creating sustainable, transformative

change in partnership with communities, giving them

Spotlight on Sustainability: Keeping the taps on

2018 Annual Report 21

Meet the communities in Kenya’s Maasai Mara responsible for making their new water project sustainable for the long haul

In spring 2018, drilling commenced and was completed on

two boreholes in the communities of Oloirien and Melelo.

There are also Water Management Committees established

with groups of men and women in each of these commu-

nities, which are essential to maintaining and sustaining

water projects in the long-term. Community members were

ecstatic at the completion of the new boreholes, as these

large-scale water systems provide long-term, sustainable

sources of clean water. Every drop will create a ripple

effect of change—particularly for women and girls, who

previously spent hours walking for water in the drought-

prone region.

After supporters like you provide the resources to make

a water project as large scale as a borehole possible, it is

the Water Management Committees that keeps the taps

on. They instill community ownership and are ultimately

responsible for overseeing the health of the project. Ensur-

ing diverse representation from the community, they are

the ones who understand their own challenges and how

to solve them. The group of elected individuals meet once

a week, always on the school grounds at the heart of the

project. And as the school bell rings and students stream

into the yard, they are surrounded by the generation who

will grow up seeing the committee in action—and drinking

clean water.

“We are the ones who know the challenges of not having

water, so we will make sure this project is well taken care of.”

— Judy Toniok, Water Management Committee Assistant

Secretary

LOCAL ACTION. GLOBAL IMPACTS. Students and families across North America and the

UK created a tidal wave of change through the first

annual WE Walk For Water event. We are so incredibly

grateful to the individuals, schools, groups and partners

who participated in and fundraised for our first-ever

one-day global fundraiser. Together we are inspired

by and empowering communities like Oloirien to break

the cycle of poverty.

Spotlight on Education: Kenya

Education transforms lives. By providing a high-quality

post-secondary experience for learners across Narok

County, WE College gives young learners a chance to

pursue their dreams and change the future of their

communities with meaningful careers. Over the coming

decades, thousands of young people in this rural region

will have the opportunity to break through the barriers

to education: among them, graduates from the Kisaruni

Group of Schools.

WE College curriculum will offer the chance for future

leaders to pursue a diploma or certificate in: Technical

Studies, Public Health, Education, Medicine, Civil Engi-

neering or Business and Technology. Each area of study

was carefully selected with communities in Kenya in

mind, so graduates can pursue meaningful careers and

help their home communities thrive. With WE College,

a successful career is possible at home.

MERCY CHEPKORIR, WE COLLEGE TOURISM STUDENT

Mercy worked hard to finish primary school, graduating

top of her class before earning a scholarship to Kisaruni

in 2013. As the eldest child, Mercy wanted to make her

family proud. In her Grade 12 year, Mercy learned about

WE College, set to open the following year. Fast forward,

and Mercy is now a proud student on full scholarship,

set to be one of the first to graduate WE College with a

diploma in tourism management. Mercy is confident that

with her skills and experience from college she will land a

job in tourism locally: allowing her to support her younger

siblings and giving her options for her future. Asked for

one experience that stands out at WE College, Mercy can’t

pick just one. “Every experience has been unexpected, and

just when I thought that would be the best, something else

would top it!” she exclaims. “Learning French, interning

at one of the best tourist hotels in Kenya and learning to

drive are in the top.”

Mercy grew up in Eor Ewuaso, a Maasai community in Kenya. In a community where priority wasn’t given to girls’ education, going to school wasn’t easy for Mercy—but her mother wanted things to be different for her daughter.

“What will really stick with me for the rest of my life is the students. They are such an inspiration to me and I can only imagine the great things they will accomplish in their lives. When you think about the ripple effect that that will have, you really start to feel a sense of the scale of what is being accom-plished at WE College.”

—Luke Gilgan on WE College, following his family’s experience on the 2018 Graduation Trip in Kenya

Spotlight on Food Security: Ecuador


1Integrating sustainable farming and rainforest conservation: en-

suring farmers are learning skills that maintain the environmental integrity of the Amazon, and pro-moting biodiversity while also ex-ploring ways to improve the lives

of farmers and their families.

Food programming and agricultural infrastructure are essential to addressing the need for food security in Ecuador

and in breaking the cycle of poverty. That’s why, with your help, we’re expanding our programming to educate farmers

in Ecuador with the skills and knowledge to ensure sustainable cacao production: contributing to a generation of em-

powered farmers who can meaningfully provide for their families. To ensure sustainability in our approach to farming

in the Amazon, there are four main areas of impact:

With your support, through the WE Agricultural Learning Center we’re empowering farmers in Ecuador with the skills and tools to engage in successful farming activities that will increase their productivity and create a sustainable income.

Creating a living classroom with a variety of diverse crops,

providing farmers with the opportunity to practice new

techniques that they learn and work with new farming

equipment

2

Supporting the needs of farmers to better understand the issues they face and how

they manage their crops, ensuring our programming meets the needs of farmers

and contributes to productive farming

3

Teaching resiliency through crop diversification, empowering

farmers with the skills and confi-dence to practice new techniques

and approaches on their own farms—allowing them to grow

more nutritionally dense foods to benefit their families’ health and

generate a higher income.

The WE Agricultural Learning Center is a 170+ acre training facility dedicated to helping improve opporunities for cacao farmers.

2018 WE Agricultural Learning Center: Spotlight on Cacao

Annual Report 2018 3130 / Global Impact / Spotlight on Food Security: Ecuador

Cacao farming is a central income-generating activity

in the Amazon where we partner with communities.

In 2018 we were proud to complete the WE Agricul-

tural Learning Center. The facility includes a two-story

structure completed in 2018 that has workshop spaces

for farmers, a museum to teach visitors about cacao, an

outdoor space offering 360-degree views of the farm, a

fully equipped demonstration kitchen and facilities for

cacao to be dried and fermented once harvested from

the farm. Outdoors, a variety of crops are grown, from

fresh fruits and vegetables to herbs and spices like cin-

namon, lemongrass, mint and rosemary that will be used

to flavor chocolate.

At the center, farmers will have a facilitated, multifaceted

experience through each stage of cacao and chocolate

production—from preparing the field, to planting, har-

vesting and selling their crops, to roasting their own beans

and making their own chocolate bar to taste—often for

the first time! The program’s goal is to empower farmers

for years to come with sustainable skills to provide for

their families and break the cycle of poverty.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTUREWe’re excited to continue building out the demonstra-

tion farm as a space for demonstrating crop diversifica-

tion and improving nutritional outcomes for farmers—

developing trainings for farmers so they can focus on

better cacao production and diverse crops for their own

farms or gardens to improve food security.

their first WE Take Action club to fight racism and pro-

mote inclusivity.

From our incredible surprise guests and motivational

speakers to our remarkable WE Schools students and

INVESTING IN A SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS FUTUREBuilding on our foundation of empowering young people

to change the world, WE is excited to be launching WE

Social Entrepreneurs (WE SE). A proud partnership

with the government of Canada, this will be Canada’s first

program dedicated to building social entrepreneurship

skills supporting nationwide scaling of social enterprises

for young people under the age of 35. With a mission to

support young leaders, WE SE builds on the success of

WE Are Social Entrepreneurs, a joint WE and RBC Future

Launch program, and will be an incubator that applies

business solutions to society’s greatest social challenges,

making way for a new generation of social entrepreneurs.

A VISION FOR INNOVATION: SPECIAL THANKS TO THOR RICHARDSON FOR HIS LANDMARK GIFTInnovative, dedicated and socially conscious—Thor Rich-

ardson is a young professional with a mind for business

and a heart for global change. He’s also co-creator of

the vision behind the new WE Social Entrepreneurs,

an idea that first started taking shape on a walk in Ken-

ya’s Maasai Mara with WE co-founder Craig Kielburger

back in 2017. Belief in the vision that young people are

the business builders of the future, and that WE SE can

empower youth in Canada to use entrepreneurship for

good, were the foundation of Thor’s landmark $1M pledge

to bring this to life.

As we head into our 25th Anniversary year, we are excited

to unlock the potential of the next generation of young

social entrepreneurs to change the world.

Empowering youth and families with educational tools and resources to promote their own positive well-being and the well-being of their community

Annual Report 2018 4140 / Local Impact / WE Well-being

Introducing WE Well-being

There is a proven need to empower educators and youth

with well-being promotion and supports. Healthy emotion-

al and social development in early years lays the foundation

for mental health and resilience throughout life. With more

than 23 years of programming empowering youth and

educators, and more than 16,000 schools and groups par-

ticipating in WE Schools programs in North America and

the UK, we are uniquely positioned to bring the resources

our educators are seeking to help them integrate well-

being into the classroom. That’s why the WE Well-being

program was launched in 2018: a proactive approach built

on evidence-based prevention and promotion strategies,

designed to build a foundation of awareness, understanding

and everyday actions.

Developed in collaboration with leading mental health

professionals and with the support of our founding part-

ner, the Erika Legacy Foundation, the program’s goal is to

achieve the following transformative outcomes:

• Promoting positive, inclusive, safe and caring envi-

ronments and relationships

• Reducing stigma, celebrating diversity and fostering

resiliency

• Increasing social, emotional, physical and mental

well-being

A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR FOUNDING PARTNERS, THE ERIKA LEGACY FOUNDATION AND THE ELKINGTON FAMILY, FOR THEIR CRITICAL ROLE IN INSPIRING AND SUPPORTING WE WELL-BEING—Erika took on many challenges and was

always learning. She spoke multiple languages and had

seen much of the world by the age of 26. She had a Bach-

elor of Education, a Certified Human Resources Profes-

sional designation, graduated from the Sauder School of

Business and earned an MBA. With her love of business

and entrepreneurship, combined with her passion for

teaching, Erika focused on helping women in the work-

place, youth and start-up businesses succeed. Erika was

determined to push herself and find her greatness. That

greatness, she believed, was found in being loving, caring

and inspiring to others.

Erika, 29, died by suicide on August 6, 2015; she was one

month away from celebrating her 30th birthday. To honor

Erika, family and close friends created The Erika Legacy

Foundation in 2016. The mission of the foundation serves

to honor Erika by:

• Taking innovative approaches to prevent what happened

to her from happening to other people

• Investing in research into the science behind suicide

and mental health

• Promoting entrepreneurship and leadership

The Erika Legacy Foundation strives to build safer

and inspired communities by partnering with charita-

ble organizations that capture the spirit of what Erika

believed in.

Erika Elkington’s lasting legacy of believing in people’s inner greatness and that we can all achieve success.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTURE

2018 was just the beginning. Launched as a pilot project, WE Well-being will continue to expand to provide further resources and capacity-building opportunities, including workshops, speaking tours and youth conferences. With more than 200,000 students and teachers reached through WE programs and WE Day events each year, imagine the possibilities.

Without you, nothing we do would be possible

We are deeply grateful to the individuals and organizations listed in the following pages for their dedicated support. Extending a sincere thank you to our

valued supporters: our incredible Board of Directors, WE Day Co-Chairs, partners, sponsors and donors
