Investigations on WE Charity (ME To WE or FREE THE CHILDREN) continue to reveal worse about the organization’s rot.
It is now emerging that the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of WE Charity Victor Li admitted that he falsified his accounting credentials in the United States of America (USA) and the United Kingdom (UK).
It has also emerged that there is a group trying to find the 1500 schools WE Charity claims to have built on google maps. I bet they’ll find massive fraud here too as the monies, most of it, ended in the pockets of well-connected individuals in Kenya.
The Canada-founded WE Charity has been involved in ‘helping’ children access education in Kenya.
Scandal began to unravel after the Federal Government of Canada put the Charity in charge of more than half a billion dollars in pandemic-related student volunteer funding this afternoon. This was soon called out as a conflict of interest as Premier Justin Trudeau was found to have close ties with the Kielburgers.
Craig and Marc Kielburger are the co-founders of the Charity that operates in several locations in the world.

There have been allegations of child abuse in Kenya too.
Former staff and children from WE Charity-run schools in Kenya exposed the charity for using corporal punishment where some kids were whipped with sticks on the back, legs and buttocks. This was happening when the Kenyan Ministry of Education had banned the habit due to its adverse effects, paralysis and death of some school kids.
Victor Li has been avoiding questioning for more than eight months, citing ill-health etc, and the Canadian parliament has now threatened him with jail for contempt.
