ABOUT US
Kontagious is here to inspire ordinary people to embrace a lifestyle of intentional kindness towards those outside their own culture, creating a welcoming, home away from home for those who are new to our cities — it all begins with a smile.
We believe that intentional kindness becomes the hope and light needed to open our communities towards the needs of families relocating across the globe. Kontagious uses unconventional and entrepreneurial approaches to encourage the immigrant to assimilate into the multicultural mosaic of lives found in our communities. We are developing technologies, incubating new startup opportunities, creating space for art and music, as well as enriching marriage and family life in our cities. We strive to impact those around us with love and simple acts of kindness to lead our communities to new waves of inclusion. This is Kontagious.
