About the company
Company website•Non-profit Organizations
Afrikindness is a non-profit public-benefit organization with the primary aim of promoting acts of kindness and fostering positive racial identity development in children and young people, igniting a desire in them to make a positive impact in their communities.
Racial diversity is a key factor in our approach to 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.
Founded in 2021, Afrikindness, a children-based initiative, was formed to find effective solutions to social, cultural, and emotional issues that children face.
Our strategic approach is collaborative - teachers, parents, and the children empowering the latter to acquire the abilities needed to deal with obstacles, to thrive and to make a difference in their communities.
Our educational services are for children in the UK and Africa with a focus on vulnerable children and disadvantaged young people who have suffered identity crises or are from ethnically marginalized groups.
We are Afrikindness!
Our focus areas are Kindness to oneself, to others, to the environment and to Africa. Our services covers these 4 areas.
Our services extend to Africa to support and strengthen the educational sector by providing kindness frameworks and content to schools.
Our Services includes:-
• Empowerment programs and children-led projects.
• Mentoring and community outreach, academy, and coaching sessions.
• Counselling & referrals for children who are racially abused.
• Advocacy & Consultancy through our research work.
• Working with Schools to develop education in racial harmony, kindness and anti-racism
• Parent support groups
