Stories of hope and kindness

In a year of uncertainty, we need the power of kindness.

It lights up dark moments. It brings solace and unexpected joy. It gives hope for tomorrow.

These are stories of hope and kindness, created in partnership with the BHP Foundation. 

They feature people and acts that made us hopeful for the future, no matter its challenges.

We hope they inspire you too.
