Charity Week is back!
WHAT is it?
Charity Week is a week long International initiative that garners support from students in Universities and Colleges across the Globe to raise money for orphans and needy children.
Charity Week Canada launched in early 2013 to unite with those across the globe in the UK to raise money for orphans and children in need. The success story of Charity Week can be seen in the UK, where Charity Week initially launched ten years ago. Over the years, they have raised $3 million to fund the education of girls in Bangladesh, building of schools in Pakistan, sponsorship of orphans in Gaza, malnutrition treatment of children in East Africa and many more.

WHO does the money go to?
Charity Week is a completely Volunteer run initiative. 100% of all donations reach initiatives aimed towards helping Orphans and Children in need. CW is not itself charity, but instead operates through its association and partnership with a host charity (Islamic Relief Canada in our case). We will be posting updates here on where and how the Global total of approximately 1.5 Million CAD (38,000 CAD from Canada) was spent.
