It only costs a relatively small amount of money per month to feed and clothe the children, as well as pay for their education.

We greatly value your support and rely solely on personal donations made by generous donors to run the orphanage. Every contribution helps and is hugely appreciated. It only costs a relatively small amount of money per month to feed and clothe the children, as well as pay for their education. The other main costs of running the orphanage go on things like building repairs, prevention of Malaria and other diseases prevalent in the area, and general hospital bills and medical treatment.

Donate other things

In regards to sending things to the children, we appreciate your good intentions and we understand that sending items has more of a ‘feel good’ factor to it than just sending money which may seem more impersonal, but just a few things to keep in mind:

• Depending on the size of the packages being sent, postal costs can be quite high and that money could be better spent on actual items for the children.
• In many instances, items such as clothing, school stationery, toiletries, food etc… can be purchased locally much cheaper than in the west.
• We have had problems in the past with donated items being held by customs in Thailand. The process seems to be quite random and even though we are a legally registered charity in Thailand we’ve still ended up paying large amounts of money to have donated items released.
