Unity Makes The World A Better Place

December 1st, 2010 by alexandernguyen

“Sharing is Caring”


I strongly believe this world needs more social entrepreneurs; people who recognize social problems and uses entrepreneurial principles to organize, create and manage a venture to achieve social change. There are too many ethical issues that need to be addressed and not enough social enterprises to help out, however, the ones who do have a huge impact for the needy in today’s society.

Me to We:

A company founded  by two very respected brothers, Marc and Craig Kielburger, who also started the famous Canadian charity Free the Children back in 1995. Me to We is a for profit organization that sells socially conscious and environmentally friendly clothes, books and music – as well as life-changing experiences. They also provide inspiring speakers, leadership training and transformative travel experiences.

Me to We measures the “bottom line”, not by dollars earned, but by the number of lives they change and the positive social and environmental impact they make. They are a prime example of a social venture; half of Me to We’s profits they make are reinvested into the company to keep it active and the other half are donated to their charitable partner, Free The Children – with that they can further help out developing countries.
