Today, we are thrilled and excited to announce our brand new partnership with ME to WE!<\/p>\n

The WE family of organizations<\/h3>\n

Founded in 2008 by Craig and Mark Kielburger, WE is made up of three organizations: ME to WE, WE Day and Free The Children. With chapters domestically and internationally, these groups strive to bring positive change to peoples\u2019 lives and to make the world a better place.<\/p>\n

1) ME to WE<\/a><\/span> empowers people to change the world with their everyday choices. When you purchase any ME to WE product, a portion of the profits are donated to Free the Children \u2013 the other portion is reinvested to grow their social mission.<\/p>\n

2) WE Day<\/a><\/span> celebrates youths who are making a difference in their local and global communities, through a powerful, life-changing event that combines the energy of a live concert with the inspiration of extraordinary stories of leadership and change.<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Together, we\u2019ve developed a signature ME to WE Tea<\/u><\/a> and travel mug<\/u><\/a>, with a portion of all sales bringing clean water to children in developing Kenyan communities. How does this impact the community? Improving access to clean water reduces illness, allows girls to go to school instead of spending hours collecting water, and leads to better agriculture and access to food.<\/p>\n

Why ME to WE?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For David, it\u2019s simple: \u201cOur goal for the partnership is to provide a source of clean water for thousands of people. As a tea company, the issue of clean water is close to our hearts, which is why we feel this is such an important initiative for DAVIDsTEA to be part of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sounds like the start of something amazing, right? Craig and David couldn\u2019t agree more. Check out their video below!<\/p>\n
