Kinder Joy of Moving - Kinder Australia and New Zealand

Kinder supports joyful growth

At Kinder, we believe that a happy child today will make a better adult tomorrow and that is why we have always aimed to bring little but important moments of joy to children and families around the world. However, not everyone knows that for years Kinder has also been committed to another important objective: to bring joy to children through moving, encouraging their natural inclination to be active, move and play. That is why we started Kinder Joy of Moving, an International Ferrero Group Social Responsibility project.

Kinder Joy of Moving currently inspires four million children and their families in 34 countries around the world to get active, enjoy moving, and develop life skills in an engaging and joyful way. At the heart of the project is the strong belief that a positive attitude towards movement will make today's children, better adults tomorrow.
