The idea behind the World Kindness Movement (WKM) crystallised at a conference in Tokyo in 1997 when the
Small Kindness Movement of Japan brought together like-minded kindness movements from around the world.
The WKM was officially launched in Singapore on 18 November 2000 at the 3rd WKM Conference. The mission
of the WKM is to inspire individuals towards greater kindness and to connect nations to create a kinder world.
