Special Friends NGO is dedicated to empowering children with diverse abilities, including Down Syndrome, Autism, ADHD, Early Intervention, Hearing and Speech Impairments, Muscular Dystrophy, and other physical and intellectual challenges. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and fully participate in their community. For years, children with disabilities have faced barriers to education and inclusion.
At Special Friends, we are committed to breaking these barriers by providing a nurturing, inclusive environment tailored to each child's unique needs. Our mission is to help every child lead a fulfilling life, actively engage with their community, and reach their full potential.

A Unique Initiative by Special Friends
Special Friends proudly presents an innovative initiative—the production of disposable plates made from two medicinal leaves, Bauhinia vahlii and Butea monosperma. These eco-friendly plates are 100% organic and biodegradable, offering a sustainable alternative to plastic waste.
As part of this initiative, we provide hands-on training for individuals with diverse abilities, equipping them with the skills to operate machinery and create these eco-friendly products. By fostering employment opportunities and promoting sustainability, we empower our community members to gain independence while contributing to a greener planet.
