This project will help to upgrade our Nursery in order to create a safer, more enjoyable and fun environment for the children of former sex workers in Pattaya, Thailand.
Tamar Center in Pattaya, Thailand, exists to help women that are trapped in the sex industry to start a new life. We do this by offering counseling, housing, job training and placement, etc. Many of the women that are joining our program have children. We have a nursery that cares for the children while their mothers are going to work in our center and receive counseling. This year we had a huge increase in the children, especially babies and so it is time to upgrade our facilities.
Here is a list of the things that would love to purchase: - A low table with chairs that is age appropriate for the smaller kids - A mini Playground set with toys for the younger and older children - new Curtains in order to darken the room during nap time - new blankets for the babies to lie and play on - one small fridge to store food - Two couches (inside and for the terrace) - A Sun cover for the outside terrace so that that kids can play in the shade and be protected from the rain as well
It will help the mothers to concentrate on their education and to not have to worry about the care of their children. The children will have a nice and safe area to grow up in, good toys to play with and a nurturing atmosphere to develop in the best possible way.
