Wall of Kindness

In Iran in 2015, the ‘wall of kindness’ phenomenon started as a response to the increase in unemployment rates. The concept later extended to Pakistan, China, Italy, Jordan, and Lebanon. With SDG 1 in mind, the Girl Guides decided to implement this concept by building a wall in the centre of Byblos, Lebanon. The Wall of Kindness is a phenomenon for social work that usually took place by hanging excessive clothes that were no longer needed outside the houses, as donations to those who needed them most.

Girl Guides established a wall next to a public garden in Byblos and hung coloured boxes that the girls decorated, so that the donors could freely place anything that exceeded their needs, and other people could get what they lacked.
