The challenge

Many people, particularly the elderly, need practical help with small household tasks but struggle with a lack of social connection within their communities. These small jobs, often left undone, are more than just chores—they are opportunities to bring people together. Unfortunately, the increasing individualization of society makes building these connections more challenging, leading to greater isolation and a weakened sense of community.

The solution

Vriendendienstje combines practical assistance with social connection, working toward a broader platform that strengthens local communities. By facilitating small tasks and fostering social interaction through activities, blogs, and forums, we’re building a future where neighbors support and genuinely connect with one another. Our current focus on practical help forms the foundation for a larger social ecosystem centered on mutual aid and meaningful relationships.
