Help Keep Families Together

Our Keeping Families Together (KFT) supports families that live below the poverty line in Thailand’s under-resourced communities. One such family, Fon and her husband Ball, have three daughters and joined the KFT program last year.

Fon's husband works as a crab fisherman while Fon herself is a homemaker, caring for their young children. Prior to joining the program, her husband's monthly income was around USD 250 to provide for 5 persons. With our support in providing better fishing materials and a new net to replace the old torn one, his income has increased to USD 375 per month.

Since joining our KFT program, they have received assistance with school uniforms and educational supplies, especially as their youngest child is starting nursery.

Fon shared that their lives have changed significantly the past year. She has gained valuable knowledge from the KFT training, improving her parenting skills and communication with her children. This has strengthened family bonds and reduced conflicts. With guidance, she has learned financial management skills, such as tracking income and expenses, leading to savings and even the purchase of a second-hand motorbike. Financial literacy leads to increased income!

The family now spends more quality time together, exploring new places and enjoying experiences they never thought possible before joining the program. Fon is grateful for the support provided by the KFT program and its sponsors, like GlobalGiving, acknowledging the positive impact it has had on their lives. She hopes that more families can benefit from such holistic assistance, fostering growth and blessings for all involved.
