With the association Les Rois du Monde and the donation of millions of Wards by our users, we have participated in the renovation of a school, the construction of a well and the distribution of thousands of meals in Nigeria.
In 2019, when we launched WeWard, we immediately wanted to add a charitable dimension to the app, allowing users to convert their Wards into microdonations to recognized charities.
So sure, it's not a gift that changes the world. But when each of us does it, we can dream of reaching for the stars! And that's what we do.
Les Rois du Monde is one of the first associations we started working with in 2019. With its founder, Stéphanie Robert, WeWard donations had notably allowed to finance Christmas gifts to hospitalized children and educational materials to break their isolation.
At the beginning of 2022, Stéphanie contacted us for a new project: to participate in the renovation of a school in Nigeria that had become unhealthy due to looting by the armed group Boko Haram. The challenge of collecting several million Wards on the application then began a few weeks later...
The generosity of WeWard users was very important and quickly, the sum was raised. At the end of June, our CEO Yves went to Nigeria to inaugurate the school, a well, and to participate in the distribution of thousands of meal baskets also co-financed.
The renovation of the school allowed more than 800 children to return to the classroom. Symbolically, they carried several of them into the school to a general euphoria - it was incredible. Access to education is still a privilege in Nigeria, and the children made that clear.
Donations also helped fund several wells, including one sponsored by WeWard. Access to water in this region of Nigeria is really problematic, with often several kilometers to go to the rare drinkable sources. These wells, drawing water from deep aquifers, now allow the inhabitants of several villages to considerably improve their living conditions. A memory that can never be forgotten: the joy that spread among the children who came to play when the tap was opened.
Finally, Yves participated in a meal distribution in a refugee camp in the region. The distress of the inhabitants was obvious and everyone had difficulty containing their emotion.
Of course, it would be a bit of a stretch to say that when we return to France, we don't see things as they used to be. But it is indeed the case and more than ever, WeWard will continue to invest in gathering millions of little hummingbirds who, together, will be able to reach for the stars!
