World Vision Has a Vital Role in Providing Aid in War-Torn Ethiopia

We Planet Earth (WPE) is an Ontario nonprofit that undertakes charitable fundraising activities in support of organizations such as Plan International Canada, UNICEF, and Oxfam Canada. Another group that We Planet Earth has spearheaded campaigns on behalf of is World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization.

One region where World Vision has an on-the-ground presence is Ethiopia, where a destructive civil war has flared throughout the first half of 2021. As the situation worsened in June, staff became cut off from the outside world and communications were compromised.

With the situation worsening in Tigray, where the local organization is based, the acting National Director of the Ethiopian World Vision mission welcomed a ceasefire announced in late June. Staff members were described as carefully assessing the situation, and reluctant to leave at a time of extreme local need. Instead, they were eager to return to the job of delivering vital assistance and aid within a region in which children face particularly serious hardship. At the time of the announced ceasefire, an estimated 5.2 million Ethiopians required assistance, while 63,000 had escaped to Sudan and one million had been displaced internally.

Empower Children through Sponsorship with Plan International Canada

Founded by Miles Duggal in Ottawa, Ontario, We Planet Earth seeks to transform the global community by raising funds for efforts ranging from the elimination of poverty to supporting social justice. We Planet Earth places these funds at the disposal of organizations such as Plan International Canada.

An organization created to defend children’s rights, Plan International Canada seeks to empower young people to achieve their full potential, and to remove any obstacles in their paths. Its sponsorship program offers the opportunity for concerned individuals to become personally involved in this mission.

Sponsorship helps children around the world rise above poverty, giving them and their families hope. In addition to providing financial assistance, sponsors also offer a personal connection by writing letters to their sponsored children, and even visiting them to experience life in their communities.

Plan International Canada offers an online system where sponsors can access their individual accounts with details about their sponsored children. Benefits include frequent updates on the results of their sponsorship and past pictures of the children, showing how they have changed through the years.

The Valuable Work of Amnesty International

Founded by Miles Duggal, We Planet Earth seeks to address a diverse range of global issues, such as seeking to end poverty, from its headquarters in Ottawa, Ontario. With a committed team of skilled individuals, We Planet Earth focuses particularly on raising funds for its partner charities, such as Amnesty International.

Created to campaign against human rights violations, Amnesty International believes in the power of individuals coming together in a movement to secure justice for all. Now consisting of more than seven million members, the organization has spoken up for indigenous peoples, caused the modification of unjust laws, and secured freedom for those imprisoned for expressing their beliefs.

Amnesty International invites everyone across the world to join in its efforts for justice. Together, its members can make their voices heard in a way that no individual could do alone. They can also participate by sharing their thoughts and ideas on how the organization should approach different issues.

Save Dolphins from Captivity with World Animal Protection

We Planet Earth supports philanthropic organizations and charitable initiatives around the world. Over the years the team at We Planet Earth has engaged with several charity groups, including Save the Children, World Vision, and World Animal Protection.

World Animal Protection International performs several valuable animal rights initiatives, such as campaigning against some of the world’s most egregious, systemic offenses against the animal kingdom. Expedia Group, for example, is a corporation that profits off of a multi-billion dollar captive dolphin industry. Expedia, along with other operators in this industry, uses these profits to deceive the public into believing captive dolphins are happy and healthy.

In reality, dolphins kept at sea parks and similar venues are forced to live in enclosures up to 200,000 times smaller than their natural territory. Training methods frequently utilize the withholding of food, to say nothing of the age at which dolphins, highly intelligent and social animals, are removed from their mothers and the rest of their pods. Despite the many challenges captive dolphins face, the industry takes advantage of the fact that dolphins naturally appear to be “smiling” as a way of selling captivity to the general public.
