With the weather getting colder, “walls of kindness” where people leave unwanted clothes are popping up all over Iran in an attempt to keep the homeless warm this winter.  

These spontaneous outdoor charities are based on a simple principal: “If you don't need it, leave it. If you need it, take it."

All over the country people are leaving unwanted clothing items on designated walls with hooks and hangers.
