World Kindness Day 2024

Kindness: A global movement

Rose Mabiza

13-11-2024

World Kindness Day is celebrated annually on November 13th and serves as a reminder of the power of kindness and compassion in shaping a more empathetic and connected world. Established in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, this day encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to engage in acts of kindness, whether big or small, with the aim of creating a ripple effect that promotes understanding and unity.

Kindness defined - A movement beyond borders

Kindness is more than just a fleeting gesture; it's a powerful way of life rooted in compassion, empathy, and understanding. This year, as we celebrate World Kindness Day with the theme “Kindness: A Global Movement,” we recognise that kindness extends beyond individual acts to connect us on a global scale. It involves both small gestures, like offering a warm smile to brighten someone's day, and larger acts, like community efforts to support those in need. Each act of kindness contributes to a worldwide ripple effect, reminding us that by embracing empathy and support, we help foster a more united and compassionate world.
