Bad days can make us feel like we just want to escape reality, but the truth is that small acts of kindness can make all the difference. Good&Kind is a platform full of easy and simple ways to spread kindness, many of which can be done right from your desk or couch at home. Here are a few examples:

   (1)   Donate 1% of your monthly salary to charity. It may seem daunting, but 1% of a salary of ₦20,000 is just ₦200.00. Setting up a recurring bank transfer to a charity of your choice is quick and easy, and can be done online.

   (2)   Write a love list. When life gets busy, it's easy to forget about the things we love about ourselves and others. Write down a few things you love about someone and give it to them – it only takes 5 minutes and is guaranteed to bring a smile to their face.

   (3)   Support a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is when people ask for public donations to help fund their ideas. Browse on any social media campaign or crowdfunding posts on social media a few small donations to a project that catches your eye, all from the comfort of your own home.

   (4)   Give kind words to someone who needs them. Social media makes it easy to connect with friends and offer a supportive message when they need it. A simple message like "Hope you're okay" or "I'm rooting for you today" can go a long way in making someone's day.

   (5)   Use Ecosia as your search engine browser. Ecosia plants a tree for every 45 searches you do. With 65.8 million trees planted so far, Ecosia is making a huge impact on the environment, and switching to it is a simple change anyone can make without leaving their desk.
