Why Support Students in Thailand?
For children in rural Thailand, poverty means more than just a lack of money - it means a lack of opportunities and hope for the future. Many are forced to abandon their education in order to find work to support their families. Yet without education, their employment options are limited and life prospects are low. It’s a viscous cycle that affects the children, their families and the community. For most, breaking the cycle is impossible without HELP.

Message from EDF-Thailand
Investment in education will take a long time and by its nature change cannot be seen instantaneously; therefore, we strongly need continuing support from philanthropists throughout the world to make the real differences and enable those in need to achieve self-reliance, to sustainably escape from the cycle of poverty, and to be able to control one’s own life.
EDF’s guiding principal is to help reduce poverty through education. Every year we award education scholarships to thousands of poor Thai children and fund school projects that make sure the right environment and resources are available to help the children learn. As word of our success and impact spreads we are receiving more and more requests for support. To meet the demand we urgently need to find new donors.
