First 1We Harley Rickshaw donated
In Bangladesh again 6 families will get a better future thanks to the 1We Rickshaws. During our travel to this country end of November we donated three rickshaws in the village Rajgathi Khalpar in the district Kishoreganj. The inhabitants themselves call their village the ‘1We village’ because of the 1We Rickshaws which have been donated here earlier. That’s why they made a big event of the hand-over of the new bicycle taxis to the families. A couple of days later we donated three other rickshaws around the capital Dhaka, among which the supersonic 1We Harley Rickshaw! 
Location research first 1We Mini Mall
The search for a suitable location for the first 1We Mini Mall seems to become a success. During our travel to Bangladesh at the end of November we visited among others Pirojpur in the south west of the country. A splendid green area with very fertile ground. Here 1We - One World Experience can use a piece of land of approximately 1 hectare. The ground is located between the nearby city Pirojpur with around 55,000 inhabitants and the Baleswar River. Via the Pirojpur-Bagerhat Highway there is a good connection from Dhaka. The favourable location combined with the fertile ground offers numerous possibilities for the Mini Mall, which will become a part of 1We the Empower Centre.
1We UK in action for Bangladesh!

Education thanks to a 1We Rickshaw
One rickshaw can change the life of a Bengali child once and for all. This has been proven by the 1We Rickshaws of which about seventy are driving around the capital city Dhaka. The stories of the individual families are often harrowing.
Such as the story of Abdur Razzak from Bamoil, a small village in the rural areas of Bangladesh. One of his children became very ill. To pay the cost for medical care he lost everything, including his house. Thanks to the donation of a 1We Rickshaw he now is able to earn a structural income for his family. They moved to a better house and his children are going to school again. Give a future 
1We Empower Centres: the project for 2012!
For 1We - One World Experience the 1We Empower Centres are the project for 2012. This project brings together everything 1We stands for: healthcare, education and empowerment as a basis for a better future. In the multifunctional centers these three components will be combined in an innovative way. As much as possible the locations will be developed in a sustainable and modular design. Therefore the components will arise step by step. 1We is building the first centre in Bangladesh. The modular formula offers you the possibility to participate with your company. 
First Football Playground on the run
The fundraising for the first 1We Football Playground in Rio de Janeiro progresses steadily. So far almost a third of the required amount of € 16,500 is donated. The inhabitants of the slum Gringolandia look out eagerly to the construction of the playground. To reach this goal 1We - One World Experience and the local partner organization IBISS work together. The aim of the 1We Football Playgrounds is to keep the kids in the favelas out of the hands of the drugs mafia and to offer them access to education. Support the kids in Rio to stay on the straight path. Otherwise they will end up in the professionally set up weapon and drug companies where thousands of youngsters are actively involved. Score with us!
Fantastic result of auction Dutch shopping centres 
In September the Dutch Council of Shopping Centers (NRW) celebrated its 25th anniversary with a huge auction. Based on a foundation of social involvement, this non-profit association has committed itself to support 1We in creating five ‘mini shopping malls’ in Bangladesh. The members themselves came up with over seventy items for the auction: from a surprise dinner in a castle to business seats for a national football game and a balloon flight. During the event €23,290 was raised to support young Bengali retailers. With this fantastic amount the first ‘mini mall’ existing from five 1We Slum Shops can be funded. A 1We team will soon be off to Bangladesh to get construction under way. Read more

Open your own restaurant in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in the world. The south-Asian country continuously contends with food problems. The causes are amongst others the enormous poverty, the annual floods, the strong population growth and the climate change. Especially children are suffering from this and become serious ill. This is the reason for 1We - One World Experience to start with the 1We Cooking Shops. This project gives women -who are often seen as the underdogs of society- the chance to open their own small restaurant and to spread their knowledge. In six months they will be trained in running a business. Each 1We Cooking Shop serves at the same time as a learning place for other talented women in the community. Open your own 1We Cooking Shop in Bangladesh. Give women the chance

Buy a 1We Cow for a better future
One cow makes a world of difference to a family in Bangladesh. Take for example the family of Minarul in Rajshahi, towards the Indian border. The family lives together with 4 other families to share housing and living costs. Minarul and his wife have three children. In 2011 they got the 1We Cow which changed their life enormously. Every day the cow gives about 7 liters of milk. By selling it they make € 2 per day. They also save money by using the manure for cooking. Moreover the milk offers a constant source of vitamins and minerals to the family. Thanks to the 1We Cow Minarul and his wife now have the money to send the eldest 2 kids to school.
1We Art Gallery empowers deprived artists
A special collection of art made by artists in underdeveloped countries and established artists. The goal of the unique 1We Art Gallery is to support deprived artists in their existence. In most developing countries art and culture hardly have any recognition. Despite the poverty there are however plenty of artists who make the arts their pride and joy. With the 1We Art Gallery 1We gives these artists the possibility to develop their talent. Such as Janaina Bruno in Rio de Janeiro. “Thanks to 1We I now can really follow my passion”, she says. “This is the dream of a lifetime.” The collection exists from paintings and sculptures from Africa, Latin America and Southern Asia. 1We buys the art for a fair price. With the revenue the artists are able to buy (painting)material, to follow a training or to rent a small studio. With the revenue 1We creates a fund to buy new art and to support the 1We foundation and its development projects. From the philosophy that art connects, the involvement of established artists is of great value for this initiative. Read more
