SHARE (Services for the Health in Asian and African Regions) is an international health NGO formed by Japanese doctors and nurses in 1983 to provide medical support to the Indochinese refugee community and promote health and peace worldwide. SHARE’s initial work in Thailand began with a focus on Primary Health Care (PHC) in Ubon Ratchathani province. The project began in 1990, with SHARE staff wor
king with village health volunteers to combat diarrhea. While working in this area, SHARE Thailand discovered that HIV/AIDS problems were prevalent at the village level. As a result, SHARE Thailand shifted its focus to HIV/AIDS work, and has been working in this area since 1994 until the present day. After working on health issues in Thailand for more than 20 years, SHARE’s management staff demonstrated sound leadership and good direction on local, community-based projects, proving an ability to function independently from SHARE NGO headquarters in Japan to become a registered foundation in Thailand.
