Friends Foundation

Qui sommes-nous

Friends Foundation Inc, founded in 2019, is a purpose designed affiliation of Friends of The Care Project as a brand new independent non-profit organization through which we will be able to help mentally and physically challenged children and their families living throughout the whole nation. Friends of The Care Project was founded in 2012 to help improve the lives of disabled children living in Antigua and Barbuda. This included residents at The Care Project, a government facility providing a home and basic care for children with severe mental and physical disabilities.
In addition to supporting The Care Project, Friends Foundation will also comprise of the following arms:
• Friends Outreach Program which will work alongside community clinics to identify children with special needs that require help and assistance.
• Friends Development Centre a fully functional school facility for differently abled children of Antigua and Barbuda identified through the Outreach Program or living at The Care Project. This is a unique facility in Antigua and Barbuda and indeed the Caribbean, providing a fantastic place to learn, be stimulated and make new friends.

What we do
• Through focusing on early intervention and targeting all children under 16, Friends Foundation Inc will provide educational and therapeutic services, training workshops for parents and nurses and counselling services.
• We are also able to assist nurses in community clinics to further improve the care provided to children with special needs across all of Antigua. We believe that Friends Foundation Inc and Antigua and Barbuda will be at the forefront leading a shining example to other Caribbean nations on how we can all help differently abled children grow and develop, realizing their full potential.
