Support “The Home of Joy” through Sustainability Projects
Based in Sangkhlaburi, North-West of Thailand, since 1990, Baan Unrak – "The Home of Joy" – has sheltered many hundreds children and single mothers, fleeing the civil war in Myanmar. At the moment we provide a safe & loving home, food, medical care, parenting and education to over 130 abandoned children from Thailand and Burma.
Donations have shrinked to a point that we are finding extremely difficult to survive and give a better future to our 130 children. Implementing these Sustainability Projects has become more and more urgent to survive. Through them we will sustain our Home of Joy, as well as educate children to become responsible, caring, and also teach them how to work, thus breaking the cycle of poverty.
We desperately need you to save Baan Unrak and help it become more indipendent through these Projects.

Wall paint
It is great to live in a beautiful and tidy house. External aesthetics is inextricably linked with the inner state. When we are surrounded by beauty, it is easier to see the beauty within. Bright, inviting walls can transform the atmosphere, fostering positivity and a sense of belonging among the children.
The Home requires some renovation. First of all, we want to paint all the walls, make our place fresh and inspiring.

But this place is also great for welcoming big groups of visitors.

new vitality and, most important, they help us economically to survive
