The world's most giving and kind countries

Iceland

Iceland is another European country that has a mediocre ranking in the area of helping strangers (52nd) and volunteering time (33rd) but comes in at a solid 7th for donating money. Iceland, a Nordic island nation, is defined by its dramatic landscape with volcanoes, geysers, hot springs and lava fields. Massive glaciers are protected in Vatnajökull and Snæfellsjökull national parks. Most of the population lives in the capital, Reykjavik, which runs on geothermal power and is home to the National and Saga museums, tracing Iceland’s Viking history.
