Dear Friends and Family,

Thanks to your generosity last year, we managed to raise raise over 12 Million Naira! ($25,000) in support of orphanages, shelters and special schools across Lagos. We distributed over 10,000kg of food and critical supplies, we delivered 2000 books, and we organised art, pottery and horticulture lessons to provide relief and inspiration for those so desperately in need across the state.

This year, with your help, the Kindness is Cool Foundation will be supporting Mentally Aware Nigeria Initiative (MANI) - Nigeria’s largest youth run and youth-focused mental health organization. MANI is a community of young people who are championing the fight against mental health related stigma and creating an environment that makes it possible for people to seek care for their mental health without fear of discrimination.

We will also be supporting Teach For Nigeria - a non-profit organisation focused on eliminating educational inequity in Nigeria by placing future leaders to teach in underserved schools in low-income communities. Your donation will go towards training specialist school teachers to take up the shortfall in public schools across the country. Instead of seeing a school closed we could help bridge the gap in education and see another group of children taking a step closer to completion and overall self-sufficiency.

Lastly, we will be launching the Kindness is Cool Volunteer Initiative - which will both match members of our community with volunteering opportunities in their respective cities and organise curated quarterly outreach events in assistance of disadvantaged and marginalised communities around Lagos

We cannot do it alone, we cannot do it forever but with your help we can make a difference in the lives of thousands.

Please join us in the spirit of kindness and active compassion.

Love,

Mik & PJ
