Our Projects
Baan Unrak, translated from Thai as "House of Joy", is a children's home and community development project in Sangkhlaburi, Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand. Our biggest project is our children's home, which provides a loving home, food, medical care and education to over 130 children from Thailand, Burma, and the neighboring Mon or Karen States. In addition to the home, Baan Unrak founded an accredited primary school in 2004 in order to provide formal education for our children. Our women's project is aimed to address the many issues faced by destitute women along the border by providing vocational training, jobs and English lessons to single mothers and women. |

Baan Unrak and sustainablity
In all of our endeavors, we strive to be as sustainable and self-sufficient as possible. Our goal is to help others help themselves. That is why we put an emphasis on education and job skill attainment. Children and mothers learn how to cook different kinds of healthy vegetarian foods at our bakery and in the home. Some of the eldest children have found internships or job experience outside of the home in order to gain more knowledge about their surrounding communities. Our weaving/sewing center and bakery not only serve as source of employment and training opportunities for individuals in our community, but they also provide an income to help support other Baan Unrak projects.

We are a humanitarian organization
We are a non-government, non-religious, non-political community development project aimed to provide humanitarian aid to those in our community who most need it. The Neo-Humanist philosophy is the guiding principle of our project. Simply stated, we believe that we should love and care for all beings in the universe.
