SunSwept Cares is dedicated to promoting wellness, knowledge, and compassion among youth, The centrepiece of this initiative is the introduction of ‘Buddy Benches’ in 75 new schools, encouraging children promote kindness and friendliness on playground.
The Buddy Bench project, started in 2018 with 70 schools in the United States, and has grown into a global movement that seeks to empower children to be more responsible, compassionate, and considerate as they grow into adulthood.
It is designed to create a safe space in schools that can be used by students in need of friends or who may be feeling lonely.
When a child sits on the Buddy Bench, it signals to their peers that they are in need of a friend, prompting other children to join and offer their friendship.
The Sunswept Cares Foundation will also establish Buddy Ambassador Clubs in participating schools, with students selected by teachers to lead various kindness projects and promote inclusivity.
