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
Annual Report 2018 7
A Message from our Board of DirectorsHONORING A YEAR OF SUSTAINABLE, TRANSFORMA-TIVE IMPACT, MADE POSSIBLE BY YOUR SUPPORT AND GENEROSITY—On behalf of the WE Charity Board of Di-
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.
It has truly been a remarkable year. On behalf of our WE
Charity Board of Directors, we want to extend our sincerest
appreciation to everyone who has been part of our journey.

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.
WE WALK FOR WATERWe launched our first-ever worldwide fundraiser for
water, bringing together students from 2,000 schools in
Canada, the U.S. and UK to raise funds and awareness
for clean water.
WE COLLEGEBreaking ground on WE College was a huge milestone.
The school will provide high-quality post-secondary
education to learners across Narok County in Kenya over
the coming decades, giving thousands of young people
the opportunity to pursue meaningful careers.

**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.
Historically, only 10% of donations go toward administrative costs.
87% of donations support our programming

Awards
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
are able to see exactly where their money goes and the
impact that it has.
We are proud of our world-class
development model and
humbled by the award-
winning accom-plishments of our organiza-
tion and team.

Empowering communities to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.
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
a hand up not a handout. And each of our five Pillars
of Impact aligns with one of the UN Sustainable
Development Goals.
Your support of WE Charity has the power to transform the lives of not just individuals, but entire communities, empowering them with the tools to break the cycle of poverty.

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.
Community members were ecstatic, 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.
But the impact doesn’t stop there. An empowered group
of men and women from Oloirien have formed the Water
Management Committee, ensuring the project’s sustain-
ability. After supporters like you provide the resources to
make a water project as large scale as a borehole possible,
it is the committee who keeps the taps on. They instill
community ownership and are ultimately responsible
for overseeing the health of the project. Ensuring 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 offers 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.”

1Integrating sustainable farming
and rainforest conservation, ensuring farmers are learning
skills that will maintain the environmental integrity
of the Amazon
Food programming and agricultural infrastructure are essential to address the need for food security in Ecuador. 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 empowered 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 to improve their household food security.
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

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
Promoting biodiversity by encouraging farmers to diversify
their crops and experimenting with a wide range of vegetables—
sharing learning to empower farmers to grow more nutrition-
ally dense foods to benefit the health of their families and
the community

WE Day: Catalyzing a global movement for change
In the 2017–2018 WE Day season, we launched Get Doing,
inspiring thousands of students to get up and get out there
to make a difference, just like Donovan Faraoni. After a
moving speech at WE Day Ottawa, he immediately went
back to his school, Bishop’s College School, to establish
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
honored guests, it was a monumental season to kick-start
the school year of doing good. We brought together 219,000
young people, schools and families across Canada, the U.S.,
UK and Caribbean. Thank you to our sponsors, partners
and co-chairs for helping make WE Day possible!

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
