Kinder World

“Kinder World is a non-profit initiative that is dedicated to encouraging compassion for animals by distributing educational videos online. It all started in 2011 when two of us who live in Israel decided to translate and distribute Gary Yourofsky’s speech in Israel. With the help of social media and effective marketing, we’ve managed to get the speech to go viral. The speech was so successful, that it is estimated that it inspired over 100 thousand Israelis to change their eating habits in order to help the animals. When we saw how one video was able to change so many hearts and minds, we understood the enormous potential of educational viral videos. That’s when we decided to make our Facebook page international and start distributing videos that encourage compassion for animals, to people in all countries.”
