Our mission is to ignite the spark of kindness in schools and communities worldwide. Rather than focusing on stopping negativity, we focus on spreading light and inspiring acts of kindness. Through our programs, we bring students and teachers together to build a culture of respect, connection, and positivity. Together, We Can Blossom Kindness. Please donate today and help us grow a brighter, safer, and kinder world.

Our Goal
Our goal is to create a safe space in schools where:
•All students feel equal, safe, and happy.
•Every student feels heard, recognized, and blessed for who they are.
•Teachers are respected and empowered to inspire.
•Schools become loving, kind, and brighter places, fostering open hearts and eliminating negativity—replaced by the radiant light of kindness.
What We Do
•Inspire kindness year-round: We create fun, engaging activities and tools that encourage collaboration and kindness among students and teachers. These include interactive games, inspirational materials, and opportunities for students to uplift one another.
•The Yocheved Gourarie Kindness Award: Students can nominate classmates or educators who have gone above and beyond for their kindness. At the end of the year, we host a grand, life-changing award ceremony. This transformative event celebrates the winners, honors their kindness, and includes impactful prizes. It is a moment of inspiration for students, teachers, and parents alike.

•Create and distribute inspiring kindness materials to schools.
•Host impactful award ceremonies that celebrate and honor kindness.
