BRING YOUR IDEAS TO LIFE
If YES, we’d love to hear about your project idea and we can assist to bring the idea to life. Afrikindness will provide every support to ensure your project idea is implemented. Your project idea could be fundraising for a cause, organising a school event, community cleanup, volunteering, or any idea that would create a kinder school and/or community.
To help, you can start by thinking of ways you can show kindness to others, to the environment, or to Africa. Look around you for issues or challenges that you would like to change in your school or community.
You can also ask an adult to help with ideas that can help create a kinder world. We would love to hear your brilliant ideas and we will support you to implement them.

Pledge your birthday to celebrate others
All year round
All locations - Global
You've been there. You're turning another year older, and you don't know how to celebrate your birthday. Is it a pool party? A day out with friends?
No matter what you choose, it's probably going to be about you, and that's not exactly exciting. Don't get us wrong - you deserve the celebration! But imagine if you could take your birthday and use it to help make someone else's day a little brighter, better, and put a smile on a fellow kid’s face.
Afrikindness helps feed children who suffer from food insecurity, leaving them malnourished and unable to achieve their potential in life. With the help of people like you, we can provide meal packs and give kids the nutrition they need to thrive.
Planning a meaningful birthday is simple when you decide to make a difference through Afrikindness. We'll provide you with all the tools you need to create and customize your own birthday campaign so that your friends and family can donate directly to your page - just make sure to tell them that, instead of getting you a gift, they should donate what they would have spent on your birthday. It's a simple way to give back and celebrate another year of being alive. Your donation can be used for any project and location you wish or you can donate your birthday pledge directly to a charity. See a 10th birthday pledge of Afrikindness kid.
Contact us if you would like to pledge your birthday to celebrate others - in the Afrikindness way.
Books donation by Papplewick school Ascot, UK
January - May 2022
Papplewick School, Ascot, Berkshire, UK SL5 7LH
A note from the Headmaster of Papplewick school says ‘Yet for all these high standards, we believe that the happiness of the boys should come first. Therefore, our final and most valued award on Speech Day goes to the boy who has shown the greatest enthusiasm for life, contribution to the community, and, above all, kindness to others. The school values kindness to others and as such is currently donating school reading books and literature to support a local school library in Nigeria. This is exemplary.
We have a lot of schools across the world in need of good library books that will benefit thousands of children. Contact us or via our email if you or your school would like to donate books to support others in need of them.
Clothes and toys donation to others
All year round
All locations - Global
Join the movement of young people who are passionately taking action to improve the lives of their peers. Afrikindness wants to spread love and warmth (in the form of clothing) throughout Africa and around the world. We accept all kinds of clothing, including shirts, dresses, shoes, hats, and more in good condition. If you've outgrown it or don't want it anymore, we'll take it. We accept both new and used clothing in good condition - used is better than nothing.
We will make sure that your donated clothes go to children who need them. We are very careful about ensuring that your donations get to the right people at the right time and in the right place. We know that times are tough for a lot of us right now. But if you can spare anything at all (even if it's just one shirt that you never wear), we'll make sure it finds a home where it will be loved and appreciated by someone who doesn't have anything else to wear. You could help a child who has never really had good clothes before - it's something that most of us take for granted, but it can make a difference to those with so little.
Please think about donating your good-quality used clothes and toys today. You can also set up Afrikindness clothing or toy basket/stand in your church or school so that your friends can also donate as well. The more donation, the better. If you let us know about your donation stand and the location, a volunteer from Afrikindness will pick up the clothing and ensure it goes to a home that needs it. How simple is that!
Contact us or via our email if you or/and your friends would like to set up an Afrikindess clothing/toys donation stand in your school or church. We would send you an Afrikindness banner and flyers to make your stand creative and a volunteer will pick up your donated items to homes that need them most. Super kind of you. See a few Afrikindness clothing.

We have a few options for you to choose from: You can bake cakes, muffins, cookies, etc at home with friends and families. Then set up an Afrikindness stall to sell your cakes and pastries. We would send you an Afrikindness banner and flyers to make your stand creative. The funds raised from the bake sale can be donated to any charity of your choice to support children in need.
