We are Afrikindness
Inspiring the world around us through acts of kindness.
Our organization provides essential tools and resources designed to instil the values of kindness in children of all ages, contributing to a more compassionate and connected world.
Join UsPartner with UsAfrikindness is a non-profit public-benefit organisation with the primary aim of promoting acts of kindness amongst children and young adults, igniting a desire in them to make a positive impact in their communities.
Racial diversity is a key factor in our approach in promoting kindness in children and young adults. In order to demonstrate the importance of racial diversity in our interactions with each other, we must teach children to acknowledge and celebrate differences while learning to accept them too.
We believe that kindness can be taught. However, kindness cannot be developed in children through contemplation and discussion. The best way to develop kindness is to receive it and practice it.
