Giving is Good: The Mywalit Foundation
At Mywalit we like to celebrate people and the actions they take to transform the lives of others. That’s why in 2017, we set up the Mywalit Foundation to support causes making positive change.The foundation awards grants to those that support the disadvantaged, focussing on international development and humanitarian issues.
At Mywalit we believe it’s important to look for the good in people.
We seek out the positive & find joy in the little things – after all it’s the small things that one day become the big things. Mywalit takes great pride & pleasure in supporting causes in their journey to being a force for good and when you purchase from us, you’re becoming part of that journey – doesn’t that feel amazing?
Recently, we’ve become all too familiar with the horrors of conflict.
A humanitarian crisis has arisen in Ukraine, families are displaced and in need of shelter, food and clean water.
Here, we highlight the work of some of the charities that have recently been supported by the Mywalit foundation. These charities are working tirelessly to help those affected by the conflict in Ukraine.
