Overview
Mission
Unite The World advances humankind to peace, kindness, and unity based on the Seven Universal Principles. The A.R.K. (Acts of Random Kindness) Charity Project was conceived in 2014 by Rabbi David Masinter from Johannesburg, South Africa. Under his organization “Change our World For Good”, over a million charity boxes have been distributed in South Africa and around the world, encouraging charity and acts of kindness. The project gained traction in the USA in several locations, most notably at the El Paso School District (Texas) and at Kansas University. Unite The World was established in May 2020, and decided to further develop and promote the ARK Charity Project as its first major project, due to its low cost, high impact, its platform for developing local and wider partnerships, and the opport.
What it reported doing in 2025
Developed Seven Universal Principles and MindfulChoice Rehabilitation Program, a nationwide program for criminal justice reform and early parole with recidivism reduction
