DO YOU KNOW?
Self-esteem
People who are kind tend to have higher self-esteem and a sense of self-efficacy. Oxford University conducted research studies on how Acts of kindness boosts well-being and positive social emotions.
Confidence
Acts of kindness boost confidence.
“Having them engage with people actually builds a sense of self-competency,” said Dr. Austerman. “They do better academically, they tend to develop a better peer support system and it feeds forward as an adult. They tend to accomplish more as adults when they’re doing prosocial behaviours as kids.” – Cleveland Clinic
Happiness
Acts of kindness can make the world a happier place. It promotes lasting happiness based on one of the studies published in the Journal of Social Psychology. Kindness makes you happy, and happiness makes you kind.
Health
Acts of kindness is good for the body and the mind. It produces oxytocin, our brain’s feel-good hormone, which reduces inflammation, lowers blood pressure and improve the overall health of our heart.
You can boost your own oxytocin by being kind to others. Kindness produces endorphins, which are the brain’s natural painkiller.
Stress Reduction
Acts of kindness builds healthy relationships and reduces stress.
It helps you connect easily with others, which can directly impact loneliness, improve low mood & self-esteem and enhance relationships. Acts of kindness can be contagious.
Success
People who are kind and compassionate are always successful. It improves creativity. More engagement with people conveys presence. It also requires good communication and effective listening skills. These actions facilitate a social network and it leads to higher achievement, motivation and greater resilience.
Ripple effect
Kindness is more that behaviour. It is an act of helpfulness, being generous and considerate, and doing so without expecting anything in return. Like ripples in a pond or a rush from a waterfall, kindness from one person can expand and inspire others to be kind. It creates a ripple effect that spreads outwards to friends. It could impact a society, a country, a continent and even the world.
In the Good Book
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
Ephesians 4:32 (NIV)
“Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.”
1st Peter 4:8 (ESV)
Intentional living
Kindness is an ACT. We can be responsive and kind individuals by bringing positivity to people around us. We are often impacted by those around us whether we know them or not. Recognising that kindness is a core value can help you live life with intention. Living life with intention can help give direction and purpose in life.

I am very happy doing all these acts of kindness. I feel proud of myself for helping to make the world a better place. I am also inspired by many adult sponsors who decided to sponsor a child
Do you know how just important water is in our daily lives? Just imagine living without water to drink when thirsty, to bathe when dirty, to wash up dirty clothing, or just have a water slide for fun. Just Imagine!!!
kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Being kind is the core of charity and it is what makes a lasting impact on whoever you help, however big or small, young or old they may be.
Imagine studying in a school where the doors and windows were always broken, chairs weren’t strong enough to hold the smallest of children, where you sat, every day, hoping that the ceiling wouldn’t collapse and bury you in a pile of concrete.
On my 10th birthday, in 2019, I volunteered to raise funds for charity and so I pledged my birthday to FoodClique charity; a non-profit charity organisation that stores and distributes purchased or donated foods to the less privileged
