The Foundation for Developing and Supporting Children (FDSC), previously known as CMFS, began its work in Chiang Mai in 1997. Its programs focus on educational, social, and humanitarian development, and are dedicated to making a difference today, for tomorrow, in the lives of the poor and disadvantaged of Northern Thailand. FDSC’s primary objective is to provide educational opportunities for all a
ges, as well as targeted programs to address the emotional and physical needs of rural Thailand’s youth. The aim is to aid and support underprivileged children and teenagers in becoming positive and productive members of society, who are focused, socially well-adjusted, and able to build constructive relationships. The secret to more than a decade of successful programs stems from FDSC’s resounding motto:
“Whoever you are, whatever you believe, believe you can make a difference”. Through forging strong partnerships and collaborative efforts with sponsors, community members, and overseas volunteers, FDSC is making a lasting difference. FDSC is presently involved with the following programs:
-University Scholarships
-English Activity Camps
-Eat, Think, Achieve! Orphanage Enrichment
-The Northern Thailand Special Olympics
-Family Emergency Assistance
-Children’s Day/Christmas Gift Drive & Events
-Distribution of educational children's books in Thai/English
