10 Successful Young Entrepreneurs (investopedia.com)
Kiki Hardee saw the need that her classmates and fellow students had regarding school lunches. She began selling baked goods in order to raise money for those that needed school lunches. She did not want anyone going hungry and set out to help pay for the lunch debt that the school had. She furthered this simple, but impactful fundraiser, into “Kiki’s Kindness Project” where she has done even more fundraisers. She began this business when she was only 5 years old. Her business story is very inspiring to me because you can tell that she truly cares. Not a lot of younger kids, especially at 5 years old, are too concerned with other needs. Usually, kids at that age are still learning how to share. Her confidence and boldness in initiating fundraisers to combat this problem is inspirational for even adults. Most adults even struggle with only focusing on themselves, their families, and their needs. She teaches us all to help our neighbors and to truly love them and care for them with action, not just words. Her business is unique to most out there because of her pure and true kindness that is shown through it.
