On our way to our own accreditation as a B Corp, we:
- Donate 10% of our profits to:
- educating children from disadvantaged backgrounds

Join us in becoming a force for good and accelerating change.
The Process
The process is quick, flexible, and as collaborative as you want it to be. The more you do, the more you learn and the less it costs. And we’re all different, so if it suits you better for us to do it for you we’re completely at your service. Either way, a dedicated EFWA team member will guide you through.
