About Making Friends
A Christ-centered platform for discipleship, well-being, and connection
"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." — Proverbs 22:6
Our Mission
Children are foundational to human development, created in God's image, and will be instrumental in shaping the future He ordains. We believe every child deserves to experience the transformative love of Jesus Christ and access the tools they need to flourish.
What We Build
An advanced, AI-enhanced, open-source, federated web-based system for management, communication, integral well-being, and discipleship of children worldwide.
How We Connect
Through caretaker-defined trust networks within local Village instances, creating a personalized and safe "internet within the internet" experience.
