WE Charity did not deceive its donors, as the CBC claimed based on interviews with 2 former donors. Meanwhile, over 100 major donors told the CBC their reporting was wrong and that WE had clearly explained the funding model for Kenya projects. Their voices were ignored.

Over and over, the CBC made false and damaging allegations. WE is suing the CBC to set the record straight for the thousands of children its donors set out to help. Using the documentary record, WE will prove that the CBC pursued a false narrative despite clear evidence.

WE Charity doesn’t simply build empty buildings. It provides education to thousands of children by also providing teacher training, school lunches, books, desks, community outreach and more. That costs more than a structure alone and may be supported by multiple donors.

CBC's reporting is wrong. WE’s audit report states that WE Canada spent $83.8m on Kenya, including $29m spent by WE Canada on Kenyan costs. CBC falsely reports the audit says that the $29m was spent on WE Canada.
