Craig Kielburger is, in my opinion, the epitomy of a social entrepreneur. At age 12, Craig developed a mission to help improves the lives of other children locally and overseas. His mission is now reflected in the organization that he founded, Free the Children, as well as in the social enterprise Me to We.
Me to We is an enterprise that organizes volunteer trips, hosts events, and supplies products that all contribute to their greater goal: being a social enterprise that
“transforms consumers into world changers, one transaction at a time.”
Half of Me to We’s profits (from books, clothing, music, etc.) are donated to Free the Children, and the other half go to administration costs, expanding the social enterprise, and overseas to help improve the lives of others.
Me to We’s annual report of their impact demonstrates that Me to We is acting to change the daily actions of consumers to help change the world.
It all started with one 12 year old boy with a mission and a vision of the future. Craig Kielburger saw that one voice can make a difference, and his organization and social enterprise continue to expand and make a difference across the world one day at a time.
