Every meal here is paid for by someone like you
Safe Haven has no institutional funding. We rely solely on personal donations to feed, cloth, treat and school the children in our care.
Beyond food and school, donations cover building repairs, malaria prevention, hospital bills and medical treatment.
Ways to give
Card and PayPal is easiest for most gifts. For larger amounts, a bank transfer sends more of your money to the children.
Give once or set up a monthly gift with your PayPal account or any credit/debit card. You will get a receipt by email.
Visa - Mastercard - Amex - Discover - JCB
Fees: PayPal takes 3.4% + $0.30 per transaction, plus about 2.5% on the currency conversion. For gifts over roughly $400, a bank transfer costs us less.
A wire costs roughly $40 USD in bank charges, so it is worth it above a few hundred dollars.
Make cheques payable to Tasanee Keereepraneed and post to:

Banks charge $10 - $15 to clear an international cheque and takes about a month, sometimes longer. For smaller gifts please use card or PayPal.
Thinking of sending things instead?
We are genuinely touched when people want to send parcels, but in our experience the same money does far more good spent here. Three reasons:
- Postage on larger parces is substantial, often more than the goods are worth here.
- Clothing, stationery, toiletries and food cost far less bought locally than shipped from the West.
- Thai customs can hold donated items, and we have had to pay substantial fees to release them, even as a registered charity.
Your understanding and support in these matters are invaluable as we strive to ensure the well-being of the children in our care.
