School For Life Chiang Mai - welfare project

You can support our children with a donation or volunteer-service! School for Life is an internationally sponsored project in Thailand that provides home and care for children who live in difficult situations. In the beginning the main target-group was Aids-orphans, children who lost their relatives in the 2004 Tsunami; children whose parents were killed or are missing, and children who escaped fr

om situations of brutality and abuse. Nowadays the children belong to ethnic monirities frmo the NOrth of Thailand and Burma. Mostly they live far in the montains and have no access to schools, have poor parents,are orphans, the parents stay in prison for long time, some where refused by the family and nobody cared about them. School for Life provides for their basic needs, medical care adn most important a new home and family, aims to make the best possible education available to them and respects their right to a happy childhood.

BACKGROUND

School for Life Chiang Mai (SfL) was founded and established by Prof. Dr. Juergen Zimmer and Thaneen "Joy" Worrawittayakun in 2003. The school is located in the mountains of Doi Saket, a serene environment in the middle of secondary growth djungle, about 30 kilometres north of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. SfL provides a home and education to children in difficult circumstances. Currently 140 such children have found a new home here and many more from around Thailand would like to come and join. In order to secure the wellbeing of the children we depend on the generous support of companies and individuals. We seek partners that not only help us cover current monthly expenses but also join us in securing recurring expenses over a longer period of time. Only if we can achieve stable and ongoing support from sponsors we will be able to open our doors for more children. Currently there are many other children that would like to join our school, not only to receive an education but to find a home as well. The envisaged development of the School for Life model, including kindergarten, primary school and junior high school may need up to 5 years. Another 5 years will be needed for the development of a senior high school and a higher education study program “social entrepreneurship” (B.A. to be prepared at the Ubon Ratchathanee University in Thailand. Within this period of time, i.e. within the next ten years, the Schools for Life are supposed to become more and more self-sustainable through income generation by their entrepeneurial units and through the marketing of a School for Life franchising system.
