who we are
Our Background
The Friendly Society Trust (The Friendlies) is a humanitarian organization based in Harare. We are not-for-profit and apolitical. Our organisation focuses on the wellbeing of underprivileged, homeless, orphaned, and at-risk children in Zimbabwe.
We help them live their lives with the decency and dignity every child deserves. We source and provide them with food, clothes, shelter, education, healthcare, skills training, mentoring, and other basic necessities.
Target Group
Children aged between 4 and 18 years who are living in poverty with no access to healthy food, shelter, medical care, education, clean water, and skills training among other basics.
