When ME To WE first launched, social enterprises remained pretty unique in Canada. Some of them are likely familiar to many people, like Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore or Grameen Bank, and ME To WE acknowledges the work of those groups in forging a path for future social enterprises like us.

Many Canadian business and tax laws make it hard to charities to earn money, apart from receiving donations. ME To WE, as a social enterprise, exists to ensure those guidelines are met while pursuing commercial activities that allow us to improve communities around the world.

ME to WE Social Enterprises has three main ways of supporting the work of WE Charity:

  • ME To WE’s has always donated or re-invested 100% of its profits. Donations, on average, represent 90% on an annual basis.
  • The organization has created jobs in rural regions around the world through a mix of methods including artisan products, eco-travel, and Fairtrade consumables. These commercial enterprises help people around the world lift themselves and their families out of poverty.
  • ME To WE also provides services to assist WE Charity. These include the hosting of ME to WE travel locations, such as WE Charity donors seeing charity projects and youth service trip scholarships. That means millions of dollars have been given by such funders directly to WE Charity.

A Mission To Change By Choice

ME To WE aims to inspire and empower. The organization was made to help people make the world a better place through simple, everyday choices.

For us, that’s about creating different options for consumers who want a quality product that also helps the community that made it. It empowers people to make informed choices that can transform the world — one small action at a time.

It All Started With Bracelets

The story of ME To WE began with a single look at the beautiful beadwork of Kenyan artisans. We wanted to connect women around the world to the overlooked handiwork of women from this region, so we called our first offering “rafiki,” which translates from Swahili as “friend.”
