We sponsor poor Bangkok children from kindergarten onward, as far as they can reach within the education system. Currently, this includes over 25 children enrolled in vocational college and university.
Outreach: Our social workers, teachers, alumni and parent representatives identify the children who are most in need of education funding assistance. We also sponsor the education of the children living in our care at Mercy Centre, from preschool onward.
Challenges: Until age eight or nine, most poor children attend school as they have little economic value as laborers. As the poorest children reach late primary school, many drop out, especially eldest siblings in a family, to earn family income and to care for younger siblings. In addition to funding to keep these children enrolled in school, we also need to provide social and family support, tutoring, and continuous encouragement along the way. The longer we can keep poor children in school, the more likely they will avoid drugs, crime, and teenage pregnancy.

R. Bohn asked over 2 years ago
Hey! Leider verfüge ich nicht über die notwendigen Mittel euch finanziell unter die Arme zu greifen.. aber ich würde in meinen Sommersemsterferien sehr gerne in Thailand arbeiten und mich an Projekten beteiligen oder auch selbst Projekte entwickeln und durchführen. Zu meiner Person: Nachdem ich mein Diplom als Sozialpädagogin absolviert und bereits 4 Jahre Berufserfahrung gesammelt habe, absolviere ich nun mein Zweitstudium in Berlin (Regionalwissenschaften Asien/ Afrika mit Schwerpunkt Südostasien). Ich würde mich total freuen und wäre euch mehr als dankbar wenn ihr mir diesbezüglich weiterhelfen könnt. Lieben Gruß von Rabea
