Kashmir’s ‘Wall of Kindness’ – A Humanitarian Effort to Help Locals Face the Bitter Cold

As temperatures fall to sub-zero levels in Kashmir, there is a group that’s attempting to make life a little bit better and warmer for those in need.

The group “Who is Hussain?” has started an initiative that involves putting up hangers in public spaces, currently in Srinagar, to invite people to hang up whatever woollens and other outerwear they don’t need. And the people of Kashmir are showing up, as can be seen from all the clothes that have been hung up. Even non-clothing items are being donated.

Known as the ‘Wall of Kindness,’ this is a movement that saw its origin a while ago in Iran and has since continued to spread. Consisting of young volunteers, the group is completely independent and receives no outside funding to carry out their humanitarian efforts. It is currently active in five cities around India.
