Who & Why

Leading with love

Kids for Kindness is Cyprus’ largest youth volunteer non-profit organisation, raising the next generation of community-minded citizens. Through working together in meaningful, hands-on missions, children discover connection, purpose and belonging while developing empathy, confidence and a lifelong sense of social responsibility.

Children make a real difference to our communities by helping families and children in need, protecting the environment, learning to care for themselves and others, and practising respect, gratitude and appreciation.

“Kids for Kindness came to fruition as a product of my love for children and their continuous and extended education. Ιn my opinion, community service is an integral part of children’s education. Engaging in voluntary work, activities and workshops will not only teach our children empathy but will also instil a sense of belonging and value that they will carry with them through adulthood.”

Dr Elena Phoka Cook (Founder)
