Friends-International works with marginalised urban children and youth, their families and communities to become functional, productive citizens of their country. To achieve this, Friends-International builds best practice services for marginalized children and youth to save lives and build futures (Friends Alliance), which are supported by strong business models (Friends Vocational Training Businesses). We are only effective if we work in partnership with other organizations (ChildSafe Alliance) and we need to involve everyone in the communities and society to protect children (ChildSafe Movement). We now run and support projects in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar and Switzerland.
