We Don't Care Inc.

It's true that Gen Y has a little bit of a reputation for being self absorbed and uninterested in the social issues around them, so it's great to see that We Don't Care Inc, is taking a stand and doing exactly the opposite of not caring.
Set up by three Gen Ys, Samuel Koh, David Goode and Matthew Sim, all under the age of 24, it is a volunteer-run not-for-profit, started in 2011 whose aim is to lead by example and create a path for others young and old to get involved
The trio thought that despite what the older generations think, Gen Y actually do care, the problem is that they don’t fully understand the issues and how they can make a difference and get involved.


We don't Care aim to empower young people and educate them that they can make a change, by raising the awareness of social justice.
so far they are focusing on the issues including poverty, homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, and violence.

They recently held a fashion fund at federation square which we posted about on the blog.
Funds collected from this event went to three specific charities:
Kids Under Cover- A not-for-profit organisation responding to the need of young people who are either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Credo Cafe- A venue offering an open lunch to people who are facing substance abuse problems, mental health issues, homeless and unemployed.
SWAGS - Swags for the Homeless provides dignified emergency relief bedding to the homeless who have been turned away.
