Do you "c" Kindness?
A youth-run non-profit organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, our goal is to unite individuals of diverse backgrounds towards acts of kindness. We invite others to see, not dogma, hate and violence, but rather unity and love in their societies. And if they donāt see kindness? We create it. Thatās why we want you to join our mission in bringing out the ākindā of world we want to live in. Put down those tinted lenses, because even in moments of global darkness, thatās not what we see. We see those flickers of hope, those selfless acts, those unrecorded moments of compassion. We see kindness. Do you?
Every day, millions of women and children in developing countries are forced to carry heavy loads of water for long distances to their homes, typically in heavy 20L (kg) containers balanced on their head.
By raising funds to purchase Hippo Water Rollers, The Roll-A-Hippo Foundation aims to alleviate the daily struggle endured by women and children by helping them improve their ability to transport water, more easily and in less time from water points that are often located far from their homes.
On average, a woman spends six hours a day collecting and transporting water to supply her familyās daily needs. The time spent on this basic necessity keeps many children out of school and prevents women from engaging in more empowering activities and income-generating work.
