Family Twinning Program
Connect your Iranian family with an international family for lasting friendship, cultural exchange, and mutual support.
What is Family Twinning?
Family Twinning pairs Iranian families with international volunteer families for ongoing friendship and support. This isn't just a one-time connection—it's about building lasting relationships where families can share experiences, learn from each other's cultures, help children practice languages, and provide mutual emotional support.
