Transforming lives through sustainable impact

WE Charity is an international charity and educational partner. Our organization is unique in that it operates collaborative programs both domestically and internationally. In the US, Canada, and the UK, WE Schools is a year-long service-learning program that nurtures compassion in students and gives them the tools to create transformative social change.

In Africa, Asia and Latin America, we partner with communities to implement WE Villages, a holistic, five-pillar international development model designed to achieve sustainable change. Together with local leaders and families, we transform lives with solutions that are adaptive, effective and sustained long term by the community itself.

A bold mission

Along with his older brother, Marc, Craig and his team set out on a bold mission: to free children and their families from poverty and exploitation.

Our Team

From our tireless staff and volunteers to our incredible donors, Board of Directors and celebrity ambassadors, our team lives by a shared set of values that keep us connected. Fueled by shameless idealism, we empower youth to change the world through “WE” thinking and “WE” acting.
