the empathy pledge
To create a more compassionate world by encouraging people to practice empathy.
The world is a better place when people are kinder and more aware of each other's feelings.
That's why we created the Empathy Pledge, a project aimed at creating a global community, that encourages people to practice empathy and pledge to be more empathic to others.
Together we grow our capacities to understand, respect, and connect with one another as human beings.
Why Pledge?
The Empathy Pledge: Empathy is the respectful, compassionate understanding of another person's situation, Point of View (POV), and feelings.
An Empathy Pledge is a commitment to treat people as you would like to be treated yourself - with empathy regardless of differences. This pledge helps you to bring more awareness and kindness into your own life and relationships and to inspire empathy in others.
Empathy Pledge strives to create a more empathetic world by encouraging people to practice empathy and pledge to be more understanding and caring towards others. We aim to build a global community of empathetic individuals who are committed to making a difference in the world.
We believe that by teaching people the importance of empathy, we can make the world a better place for everyone.
We believe that empathy is the key to a better society and that empathy can be learned and practiced.
Human compassion is the strongest force in our flawed world. Be more empathetic and change the world for the better by stopping a war with words.
Let's start to shape a more empathetic future together!
Community
To create a global community and a more compassionate world by encouraging people to practice empathy and pledge to be more empathic to others.
Humanity
To unite and inspire people to practice empathy, create a compassionate world by promoting understanding, connection, and respect for all, for the greater good of all humanity.
Global Apathy
To create a global movement of people that are committed to living lives of compassion, kindness, understanding, and to bring an end to the suffering caused by human-caused apathy.
let's make it happen
We need to practice more empathy in the world if we want things to change. This is a start.
Our target is to get 1,000,000 (1 Million) people to pledge to be more empathetic because it is the key ingredient that will make all difference in this world.
We want to make it easy to start practicing empathy on a daily basis. We'll help you match your pledge to meaningful actions that help people connect and build trust in an increasingly diverse world. With the Empathy Pledge, we can change the world for the better.
Spread empathy. Everywhere
Imagine the power of a global community of infinite empathic thinkers, nurtured through compassion and self-love.
A world where each human being opens their hearts and expand their circle of empathy. A world that is more positive and a kind place. A world full of empathy, rather than hate, anger, cruelty, bullying and fear.
Together we can make the world a place where we treat each other with the same respect and understanding that we would want for ourselves.
Our mission is to spread empathy, one moment, one interaction, one person at a time.
We want to create an enduring empathy movement that inspires people to put empathy at the center of their lives.
Ready?
Pledge to be more empathetic and help spread the word!

Hello!
I'm Martha Mghendi-Fisher
We have seen such an increase of #hate, #anger, #bullying, selfishness, #cruelty and lack of empathy that keep confronting us each day.
The world feels heavy. We seem to have lost our way as a humans race along the way.
The world is a better place when people are kinder and more aware of each other's feelings.
Empathy is the foundation of understanding. It's the first step in shaping a better world. And we all want to create that better world. We want to play our part in it, however small we might be.
When we are empathetic, we connect. When we connect, we understand each other. Understanding leads to respect, understanding, and ultimately LOVE.

I pledge to practice empathy. I will not only be empathetic to those close to me, but to strangers as well. I will try my best to understand the reasons why people are the way they are. Only by truly understanding others can we begin to mend and learn from past mistakes.
Make Your Pledge!
We all want to be heard, understood and respected. Regardless of our differences, empathy can help us understand one another better--and as a result, improve our relationships with one another.
