The Trueness Project joins Kindness Forward to push for 1 billion acts

The Trueness Project has partnered with Kindness Forward Organization to support its One Billion Acts of Kindness goal during this year’s Kindness Season. The collaboration will take kindness education and outreach into 10 schools over the coming weeks, starting in Kenya.

Why it matters: - The partnership pushes kindness work into schools, where organizers hope students will carry the message into families and communities. - The effort ties local outreach to a global campaign aiming to record One Billion Acts of Kindness during Kindness Season. - The Trueness Project is extending its community-building mission beyond its flagship events and into day-to-day education.

What happened: - The Trueness Project announced a partnership with Kindness Forward Organization on Sept. 8, 2026, in Nairobi, Kenya. - The two groups will work together to support Kindness Forward’s goal of reaching One Billion Acts of Kindness during this year’s Kindness Season. - The Trueness Project plans to visit 10 schools through community outreach and projects coordinator Emmanuel Sananka. - The schools are Oloigero Primary School, Chebilat Boys High School, Kisii University, Maseno University, Talek Girls High School, Park View Academy, Softik Secondary School, Kibera Primary, Rekero Primary and Talek Boys High School.

The details: - M. Teresa Lawrence, president and executive director of The Trueness Project, said the partnership will take the organization’s belief in kindness directly to students. - The Trueness Project described kindness as contagious and said a single act can inspire others to pay it forward while improving wellbeing for both the giver and the receiver. - The school visits are expected over the coming weeks. - Updates will be shared through The Trueness Project’s channels and through Kindness Forward Organization’s Kindness Season campaign. - The Trueness Project’s flagship event is the Worldwide Flutter™, also called The Grand Butterfly Gathering or the Butterfly March, held annually in Jackson, Wyoming.

Between the lines: - The partnership gives The Trueness Project a practical role in a larger campaign, turning broad messaging about compassion into direct student outreach. - The school list spans primary schools, high schools and universities, suggesting the campaign is aiming for a wide age range. - The connection to the Butterfly March frames the new work as an extension of an established community-brand identity rather than a standalone initiative.

What's next: - The Trueness Project will carry out school visits in the coming weeks. - Kindness Forward and The Trueness Project will publicize updates as the campaign continues. - The partnership will feed into this year’s Kindness Season push for One Billion Acts of Kindness.

The bottom line: - The Trueness Project is using its partnership with Kindness Forward to turn a global kindness campaign into hands-on school outreach.
