Grab your running shoes, we are going on an adventure!

Why #RunWithFriends?
To support the education of marginalized children and help them to go back to school!
Friends-International is an award-winning NGO and social enterprise empowering marginalized children, youth and caregivers in South East Asia. Last year, we supported thousands of children, youth and their families to get through the COVID crisis through education, training, entrepreneurship or employment.
This year, many children are still deprived of education despite that most schools reopened. Join #RunWithFriends to help us provide education support to marginalized children.

Every dollar counts and we are grateful for any support no matter the size. Here a few examples of the impact you could have...
