Thailand is one of the most developed countries in Southeast Asia. However, several ethnic minorities (Karen, Lahu, Lawa, Hmong), as well as rural areas (Isan), suffer from a lack of education and integration into Thai society.
The rural exodus to the capital, Bangkok, is also a problem. Many parents leave the countryside for a hypothetical job in the big cities, leaving their children with their grandparents.
Finally, the attraction of the country’s economic situation is generating strong immigration, amplified by the war raging in Myanmar. Many economic and political refugees are arriving in Thailand for uncertain periods of time, and the children have to continue their education in spite of everything.
The aid provided in Thailand is mainly focused on:
One-off projects (building and renovating schools) help to improve the environment and the living and learning conditions of the sponsored children.
The NGO also supports vulnerable populations, particularly in the slums of Bangkok.
