Ute Shaw’s charity work and philanthropy

24 GOOD DEEDS

CHARITY ADVENT CALENDAR, CANADA

Head of North America

2020-present

Ute is responsible for the Canadian version of the 24 GOOD DEEDS Advent Calendar, raising awareness and funds for Canadian charities and their many projects within Canada and around the world.

Swimsuitaid

Bahamas

Founder

2009-2020

Ute founded Swimsuitaid, through which she was collecting thousands of new or nearly-new swimsuits for boys & girls ages 5 -16, and donating them to schools in the Bahamas. Many children in the Bahamas do not know how to swim because they cannot afford bathing suits which enable them to participate in school swimming lessons. This puts them at risk for drowning if they fall into the ample water surrounding their islands.

The babies are typically underweight and their mothers died during birth or shortly thereafter.
