Karen Hilltribes
Supply of clean drinking water
The Karen Hill Tribes in Northern Thailand have difficulty being recognised and can find themselves stateless with few rights and little status in society. Funds were donated to provide a clean water supply to a school and primary healthcare centre in the Karen region.
The Thai government established new laws regarding the care and housing of children in hostels and orphanages. As a result, 40 at-risk children had to be urgently moved to a new hostel in Northern Thailand and funds were also donated to support the renovation of the existing hostel to take girls and to provide suitable accommodation for additional boys and girls.
