World Kindness Day – 13 November

World Kindness Day is an international observance on 13 November. It was introduced in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, a coalition of nations’ kindness NGOs. It is observed in many countries, including Canada, Australia, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates. Singapore observed the day for the first time in 2009.

World Kindness Day, first introduced by the World Kindness Movement (WKM), began on November 13, 1998. The WKM became an international nongovernmental organization in 2019. Without a specific political or religious affiliation, countries came together around the shared vision of a more compassionate world.
