Change the world one friendship at a time
Friends are not a luxury,
Friends are a necessity
In a world that sometimes feels divided, friendship becomes the mighty bridge. When you befriend a child with special needs, you’re actively contributing to creating a more inclusive and welcoming world for everyone.
Our Work
No one would choose to live a friendless existence, even on the condition of having all other good things.
Friendship Circle is on a mission to spread happiness and companionship among children and young adults with special needs. Together, we’re raising awareness, building a more sensitive community, and encouraging everyone to take responsibility and get involved. It’s all about making a positive impact!
