World Vision in Thailand today

World Vision is committed to partnering with the people of Thailand to enhance their lives today and to help enact sustainable solutions for the future of their communities, families, and children. Currently, 124,672 children are registered in the World Vision sponsorship program.

Several times this number of children and other family members benefit from World Vision activities. Of these registered children, many have World Vision sponsors in other countries. U.S. donors sponsor 15,760 girls and boys. In addition, World Vision operates 79 development programs, 14 of which are supported by U.S. donors. Highlights of these efforts include the following:

• The Ranong Protection, Prevention, and Recovery Project addresses the issue of exploitation among the young girls of Phayao province in the northern region. Many women and girls are taken from their homes in neighboring Myanmar, often with the promise of a better life, only to slave as hard laborers or to work in brothels. World Vision is working to raise awareness, provide vocational training, and advocate for the improved future of these young girls. A shelter in Ranong, which will house up to 40 women and girls, has nearly finished construction.
• Mae Tang AIDS Solution and Advocacy Project aims to improve the lives of AIDS orphans and residents of targeted regions through education, health, and community development interventions. Project leaders look to raise healthy public attitudes toward HIV and AIDS patients that will lead to improved health, mutual care, and better well-being in communities.
