The Western Union Foundation Worldwide charitable giving
Western Union’s Our World, Our Familysm program aims to empower migrant families through education and global economic opportunity programs.
The $50 million, five-year initiative is the result of extensive research and consultation. It leverages the power of remittances and amplifies the positive impact Western Union is making in communities around the world.
The Our World, Our Familysm program is founded on four core pillars:
- Our World Gives: Our employees, Agents and consumers create global giving circles to multiply the benefits of their contributions.
- Our World Learns: The program includes education programs such as family scholarships and learning packs.
- Our World Strives: Support in entrepreneurship and personal finance to help make migration a choice rather than a necessity.
- Our World Speaks: Engage global leaders in dialogue about the issues that affect migrant communities.
A brighter future
“While I have always been proud of our work and the generous support of Western Union, its employees and Agents, I believe our new focus provides a roadmap for a brighter future for communities around the world.”
Luella Chavez D’Angelo
