About Thailand
Thailand is a Southeast Asian nation that is home to nearly 68 million people. Thailand is bordered by Myanmar (Burma), Cambodia, Laos, and Malaysia. With over 2,000 miles of coastline, Thailand boasts of some of the world’s most stunning beaches in addition to dense tropical forests and mountainous highlands.
Rich in cultural heritage and natural resources, Thailand has become a major economic force in Asia. In spite of its recent economic boom, income inequality continues to plague society with living conditions in urban areas improving far more quickly than in rural villages. Coastal areas continue to rebuild following the devastation wrought by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 when as estimated 10,000 people in Thailand perished.
Although education remains a top priority for families; many public schools are overcrowded and understaffed, leaving parents struggling to afford school fees and supplies.

How Sponsorship Works

Why sponsor a child?
“Child sponsorship is very rewarding because you know you're making a difference for that child. But the blessing you will receive far surpasses even the difference you make in the children's lives. You will see God at work!”
— Lita, Kentucky
“Sponsoring two little girls from Guatemala has changed the way I see life. As Christ-followers, we are called to love God and love others. I believe that we love God through loving others, and child sponsorship gives us the opportunity to do that.”
— Kayla, Virginia
“I believe child sponsorship is a way to touch the future. It's important to invest in the next generation, both here and around the world.”
— Margaret, California
