A home for children in need
Since 1987 we have given orphaned and disadvantaged children from Thailand and Burma food, shelter, medical care, schooling and a family.
Safe Haven is a home, not an institution
We are two hours north of Mae Sot on the Thailand-Burma border. Children come to us having lost parents, homes or safety, and stay as part of a family that feeds, clothes, treats and educates them.
Safe Haven is open to children of every community, faith and culture, and never asks a child to change what they believe.

1987 the year Mrs Tasanee Keereepraneed took in her first children
100% of our running costs come from personal donations
Daily care
Three meals a day, clothing, bedding and people who love and nurture them.
School
Uniforms, books and fees so every child in the house is enrolled and stays enrolled.
Growing our own
Chickens, eggs and vegetables that feed the children and lower what we spend each month.
A small amount each month keeps a child fed and in school
We have no institutional funding. Every meal, uniform and clinic visit is paid for by people who choose to give.
