A CONNECTION A WORLD AWAY

Two boys, both 12, were born into very different circumstances. The first: Craig Kielburger, a Canadian comics-enthusiast and the son of two educators. The second: , a Pakistani child laborer, killed for speaking up for human rights. Worlds apart, their lives intersected one morning when Craig stumbled across a shocking headline: “Battled child labor, boy, 12, murdered.” In that moment, Craig knew he had to take action.

But he was only one person, and a kid at that. What possible difference could he make? What he needed was a collective voice. So Craig convinced 11 of his classmates that together they could make an impact, and Free The Children was born. Craig and his team set out on a bold mission: to free children and their families from poverty and exploitation.

Over the past two decades, we’ve grown into an international charity that helps empower youth from every corner of the world to lead change in their communities and beyond.

We want a world where all children—girls and boys—have access to education and no child has to work to ensure their family’s survival.

Poverty is a complex issue rooted in a number of correlated social and economic obstacles. If you only tackle one issue, regardless of the money and resources you invest, the cycle of poverty will persist.

Our international development model addresses five primary causes of poverty with holistic and sustainable solutions that work in tandem to transform communities. We call this program WE Villages.

WE Villages is an adaptive, effective five-pillar model built on 20 years of experience collaborating with dedicated community members and international development experts to find solutions that work. Each pillar is a critical component in breaking the cycle of poverty.

FREE THE CHILDREN / WE CHARITY ANNUAL REPORT 2015 23 EDUCATION

Ending child poverty begins with schooling.

Giving a child an education is the best way to set them up for success and break the cycle of poverty. When children are educated, they are armed with the knowledge, courage and self-confidence to better themselves, their communities, and ultimately the next generation.

We don't just build schools and move on. We provide other academic buildings like libraries, administrative offices and teacher accommodations. We also refurbish existing school buildings; provide furniture, educational resources and supplies; offer leadership programming and training for teachers; and facilitate extracurricular school activities like health and environment clubs.

FREE THE CHILDREN / WE CHARITY ANNUAL REPORT 2015 25 WATER

Children—especially girls—often miss school when they have no access to clean water.

Access to clean water in their communities frees girls from the daily task of collecting water for their families, and prevents waterborne illnesses that make children sick and unable to go to school.

We help provide communities with clean water to drink and use for cooking; healthy sanitation facilities for washing and going to the bathroom; and infrastructure like irrigation or catchment systems to facilitate food production. We also work to educate communities about healthy hygiene practices and how to prevent waterborne diseases.

FREE THE CHILDREN / WE CHARITY ANNUAL REPORT 2015 27 HEALTH

For people in developing countries, getting sick or being chronically ill can plunge a family deeper into poverty and prevent children from attending school.

This in turn makes them sicker and the vicious cycle continues. So many illnesses in developing countries are preventable and easy to treat. But often communities don’t have access to the doctors and medication necessary to overcome or even prevent illness.

We work with community partners to help improve access to health clinics, bring programs like vaccinations to schools, facilitate training of health care professionals and teach the community about disease prevention and healthy habits like hygiene and nutrition. Families who have access to health care can run farms, keep their families fed and keep their children in school.

FREE THE CHILDREN / WE CHARITY ANNUAL REPORT 2015 29 FOOD

When you’re chronically hungry, you’re not productive. And when you’re not productive, you can become trapped in a cycle of poverty.

In the developing world, hunger leads to malnutrition and illness, keeping children from school and adults from work, and there is little opportunity to rise beyond basic subsistence.

We work with communities to implement agriculture and food security programs that ensure families have access to healthy, self-sustaining food sources. These programs directly impact a community’s health, access to education and economic outcomes.

FREE THE CHILDREN / WE CHARITY ANNUAL REPORT 2015 31 OPPORTUNITY

Children can only attend school if their parents have the financial means and time to invest in their education and basic health.

When a woman receives the training and support she needs to increase her income-generating skills, she gains a voice in how her family spends money and invests in the future of her children.

We teach parents, often mothers, skills such as animal husbandry that help them generate an income and accrue savings. These skills are then passed on to friends and children, ensuring long-term, sustainable solutions to a community’s economic challenges. Empowered women also have more freedom to shape their own lives, acting as role models to the generation behind them.
