785m people still lack basic water services and 144m of those people drink untreated surface water. If countries continue to slack on sanitation, safe water, and hygiene, we’ll continue to live with diseases that could have been prevented.
Invest in water. 💛

Want to know how much millennials are giving? 🤔
$591.
Although higher than most think, we're wondering what kind of implications #COVID19 will have on our generation's giving behaviour. Will we see a community come together or have too many of us been economically penalized?
With more of us facing layoffs, shift cancellations, and lost jobs from #COVID19, #foodbanks across the country face dramatic increases in demand. If you know someone who’s been severely financially impacted, consider supporting food banks in your area. 💛https://t.co/dDD4Yu8yik
Did you know that in Canada, women earn 87 cents for every dollar earned by a man?Not surprisingly, this number is even lower when looking at #Indigenous, racialized, or newcomer women. They tend to make 65-71 cents for every dollar their male counterparts make. #equalpayday2020
Last year, 1,084,386 #Canadians used food banks. 34.1% of them were children. With the economic consequences of the #coronavirus looming, food banks worry these numbers will jump dramatically. 👀

With most government funding going to big organizations in #Canada, the smaller guys rely on donors like us to survive.
Just because a #charity has a small team, doesn’t mean they’re less effective. In fact, small #charities can operate + access places larger ones can’t. ✊
As we head into a new week of the coronavirus pandemic here in Canada, food banks across the country begin to feel the pressure.
You can help by donating food, donating money, and volunteering if you're in good health. 💛

Staying home to #SaveLives is part of Canada’s effort to flatten the pandemic curve. The goal is to use #SocialDistancing to slow down the spread of the Coronavirus, and if we can successfully pull this off, we won’t see a huge spike in the number of people who get sick. #Covid19
The news about the #pandemic is taking a toll on people’s #MentalHealth. If you're feeling strained, consider limiting the news you pay attention to and choosing what you read wisely. If that's not enough, try taking a social media break or reaching out to a professional! 📣
Women are emerging as leaders in philanthropy! 👏
Partially a result of our improved economic status, health, and educational backgrounds, a growing number of us are increasingly giving back.
Here are some quick facts about women who give.
#Philanthropy#WomenLeadership
We all know that education is 🔑 to a better future, but not everyone has the opportunity to attend. In 2017, 10% of the world’s children did not go to school. About two-thirds of those children were girls.

A shocking report suggests that only 13% of the world’s oceans have intact marine ecosystems, while the rest have been damaged and degraded. 😮
What small steps have you taken to save our oceans?

Wouldn’t it be cool to measure the impact you’ve made over your lifetime, or a single year? 🤔
Well, that’s what we’re working on. Sure, it’s all still very new. But we have incredible plans for where everything is headed.

Did you know that out of the 1.3 billion people living in extreme poverty, more than 2/3 are women and girls? 🤔
Advancing #GenderEquality is critical if we want to reduce poverty, and promote the health, education, & well-being of both girls + boys around the world.

What better way to celebrate #Valentines or #Galentines than by showing love to some of our favorite causes. ♥️
Sure, they all have our hearts, but if the team was forced to choose only two each, here’s what we'd select. 👉
