“Mark and Craig Kielburger Do-Gooding Social Enterprise” 

Free the Children, an organization created for compassionate youngsters who have the desire to help those less fortunate then they. Having built more than 65- schools and schools rooms in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and have provided health care, clean water and sanitation facilities to one million people, at first glance this is just another charity, but in reality Free the Children is a business designed to create a sustainable difference in these underprivileged countries.

(Founders of Free the Children, Mark and Craig Kielburger)

Free the Children donates half of it’s profits to the “charity” aspect of the organization, last year it was $380 000 in cash and $600 000 in the use of its buildings and donated labour. The other profits go to administrative costs and are reinvested into the company, thus creating its sustainability.

Mark and Craig Kielburger, social entrepreneurs and founders, are both inspiring and driven to create a better world and help educate young minds in the bigger picture we all seem to forget. I have personally participated in Me to We clubs as well as have been involved in We day 2010-2012. These brothers never fail to inspire me and provide me with the courage to want to change the world.
