World Kindness Coalition
World Kindness Coalition is a philanthropic initiative dedicated to supporting local projects worldwide, with a focus on education, sustainability, and community development.
Our Why
We believe that the kindness should be as generous and genuine to those far away as it is to those right next door.
Our team realized that we are in a unique position to share resources that can create immediate and significant change in communities around the world.
On a visit to Kenya, we encountered Joshua Machinga, the Executive Director of Common Ground for Africa. His unwavering dedication to improving his community, grappling with issues like malnutrition, poverty, and lack of education, left a lasting impression on us.
Joshua’s Pathfinder Academy is the cornerstone of his mission to transform the lives of those around him.
Moved by Joshua’s leadership and the tangible difference one person can make, we were inspired to find and support other leaders with similar visions.
Through our friendship with Joshua and seeing his innovative approach to solving complex problems, James identified him as a visionary leader and felt a deep calling to help raise the funds needed to expand the impact of Joshua’s work.
Our Mission
Our mission is to identify and support international non-profits facing resource challenges that are difficult to overcome locally. We focus on grassroots programs led by visionary leaders who are tackling critical issues in health, sustainability, and education. Our goal is to complement and enhance their local efforts through strategic investments of time, resources, and connections. By providing financial support and additional resources, we aim to amplify the impact of these dedicated organizations and empower them to address their communities' needs effectively.
Our Vision
