Baan Unrak's Outreach and Relief Program

Baan Unrak's Outreach and Relief Program When Didi first came to Sangkhlaburi in 1990, she witnessed the many social disparities the community faced. These issues prompted her to start an organization aimed to help develop solutions to these issues. In addition to providing care for abandoned children, Didi began outreach and relief efforts with the most impoverished families within the area. Just like the children home's enormous growth over the past twenty years, Baan Unrak's outreach and relief project has expanded exponentially over the years.

Basic Needs for All

Our active outreach program caters to the most needy people in Mon and Karen villages along the border between Thailand and Myanmar. We provide temporary food assistance, clothing, mosquito nets, clean drinking water systems and other items to help disparate communities obtain their basic needs. Often times, an offering of rice and baby food could mean the difference between life and death for the most impoverished families. Baan Unrak has also provided funding for teachers, materials and infrastructure in school located deep in the jungle, which would otherwise severely lack resources to provide a basic level of education for their children.

Involvement Among the Children

When safe and appropriate, BU involves our children in our community outreach activities as a part of their education. The aim is to raise their self-esteem, harbor selflessness and foster civic engagement and community identity. Our teenagers have managed various outreach projects in the past.
