OUR MISSION

The Loukoumi Make A Difference Foundation is a non-profit organization that unites over 150,000 children in 30 countries worldwide to make a difference through causes they are passionate about.

WHAT WE DO

The Loukoumi Foundation was inspired by the 9 book children’s book series by author Nick Katsoris, about the fluffy lamb “Loukoumi,” named after the iconic candy. The book series teaches children, ages 4-8, life lessons of kindness, doing good deeds, anti-bullying, preserving the environment, and following their career dreams, with audio books narrated by celebrities Jennifer Aniston, Olympia Dukakis, Morgan Freeman, Nia Vardalos, Bob Costas and others. 

The Loukoumi Foundation with children, ages 5-18, expands on the lessons introduced in the books, teaching children to make a difference in the world one good deed at a time. We work with over 300 schools worldwide through our Good Deed Curriculum, including monthly zooms, hosted by a different school each month in a different international city, where students worldwide collaborate on global good deed projects together.

The students also engage in meaningful projects where they take action and make a difference in the world, making philanthropy fun, not forced, and a lifelong endeavor. They visit animal and homeless shelters, children’s hospitals and nursing homes, clean beaches and parks for the environment, make a difference through the arts and sports, and whatever other projects the students, through their own voices, wish to do, using what makes them happy to make a difference in the lives of others.

IMPACT

The result is that the recipients of the good deeds benefit, but the students, as doers of the good deeds, also benefit tremendously with increased self-esteem and improved mental health, thereby achieving purpose in their lives and overall happiness.

Together we can make a difference! LEARN MORE
