FINLAND

Finland

Hovering around the mid-twenties for the past 5 years, Finland always

has good scores in the areas of volunteering time and donating money.

Turkmenistan

Ranked number 1 in volunteering time, as a former Soviet state

a Saturday to perform volunteer work. In some instances, however, mandatory

subbotniks have been implemented which could possibly skew the statistics.

Another country that consistently shows up in the mid-twenties,

Cyprus has a strong ranking in the areas of donating money

and helping strangers.

Thailand

Consistently ranking in the top 10 for donating money, this is largely

due to a high number of Theravada Buddhist monks who

receive support from lay devotees.

time and it performs strongly in the area of helping strangers.
