ACTS OF KINDNESS COLLECTIVE
Acts Of Kindness Collective was set up in 2015 in response to the devastating earthquake in Nepal. We empowerlocal communities through education, health and child protection. To date we have run multiple projects to stop child trafficking, built homes for homeless families, conducted medical missions and constructed several schools. We are active in South East Asia, with a focus on Nepal.
