Based in Sangkhlaburi, North-West of Thailand, since 1990, Baan Unrak has sheltered hundreds of children and single mothers fleeing the civil war in Myanmar. We now provide a home, food, medical care, education to over 130 stateless children. Focusing on educational skills is the only way to secure their future. We provide a supportive environment and try to raise their self-esteem, thus launching students towards their vocational goals that will give them hope for a brighter future.
Challenge
Educating for life includes fostering principles of mutual Love, good will, collaboration & dedication to work. Implementing self-sustaining programs has therefore also an educational purpose, teaching children important values. Through our projects we hope to become more self-sufficient as well as provide an improved quality of education which we hope will allow children to break the cycle of poverty.

Long-Term Impact
Baan Unrak Children's Home is a community, older children help the younger. The step to vocational goals or University for particularly capable teenagers will allow the current group of older children to expand their prospects, with a long-term benefit for their "siblings". Helping older children move up the education ladder & reach their goals will set an important example. Helping self-sustaining Projects will foster positive principles of cooperation and mutual Love in all our children.
