Questions about kindness answered
Our Citizen Journalist team in Kibera, Kenya studied how to take down barriers to kindness in their community
Small and simple acts like holding doors, smiling, and saying “good morning” were among the top acts reported.
Asking someone about their evening/weekend plans had the largest impact on mood (average of 0.9 points happier on a scale of 1-5)
90.5% of those surveyed said intentional acts of kindness between coworkers could make an impact on stressful work situations, mostly by creating more supportive environments and boosting morale.
