Ryan's Story

Ryan Hreljac was just six years old when he heard a news report about children living in poverty in Africa. The images of starving children tugged at his heartstrings, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he had to do something to help.

With his mother's support, Ryan started collecting spare change from his family and neighbors. He then took his modest savings to the local bank and opened an account in the name of "Pennies for Africa."

What began as a small act of kindness quickly grew into a global movement. Ryan's story inspired people around the world to donate to his cause, and soon he had raised enough money to build a school in Africa. The school, which opened its doors in 2001, has provided education to thousands of children.

The Making of a Humanitarian

Ryan's childhood experiences instilled in him a deep sense of empathy and compassion. He recognized the power of kindness and the importance of helping those in need, regardless of their race, religion, or nationality.

As he grew older, Ryan became increasingly involved in humanitarian work. He traveled to developing countries to meet with children and families living in poverty. He also spoke out on behalf of children's rights and advocated for social justice.

The Birth of ME to WE

In 2008, Ryan and his brother Craig founded ME to WE, a social enterprise that empowers young people to make a difference in the world. ME to WE has since become one of the world's leading organizations in youth social activism.

Through ME to WE, Ryan and Craig have created a range of programs that engage young people in social change. These programs include volunteer trips, leadership development initiatives, and educational resources.

ME to WE has also partnered with schools and universities around the world to incorporate social justice and sustainability into their curricula.
