Near the end of 2015, something started in Mashhad, Iran. A blue wall appeared with a message in Farsi: "If you don't need it, leave it. If you need it, take it." The message referred to the clothes hanging on the wall that were left for the homeless. Most people love the idea and hope it spreads across Iran. It has already happened in at least one other city, and more cities are starting their own kindness walls. The clothes are left behind by regular citizens who want to donate directly to the homeless. Winters in Iran can be very cold, and many homeless people sleep outside. The clothing donations help them stay warm. There are a growing number of homeless people in Iran due to the poor economy. This is also not the first plan to help the homeless in Iran. There is also another project called Payan-e Kartonkhabi where people set up refrigerators in public spaces. Citizens leave food in these refrigerators for the homeless. Both ideas are going a long way in helping those who are having a difficult time.
