Today continuing to stand with families at-risk across Thailand
is as challenging as we have ever known.
There are preschool children needing support if their families are to avoid sending them off to orphanages that beckon and promise help, if the single mom or relatives will release them into their care. It's a sad situation to see, and the reason we run the "Keeping Families Together" program.
On the other hand, many poor families across Thailand today find themselves looking at their young teenage girls as essentially economic engines, ready to be put to work for the family. Early teen children don't need to leave home and go to work in the big cities, indeed, making such a decision is one of the most risky moves a family can make for the future of their children. Therefore, Keeping Families Together makes economic opportunities with training and counseling for families to make better decisions for them all to step ahead together. Community Economic Development can make a big difference for some of rural Thailand's poorest families. Take a look now at how you can enjoy ITSERA purses and change women's economic future's today.
Further, Step Ahead is soon to launch new Urban Gardening initiatives in Bangkok's largest slum community. Please donate $20, $50, or $100 to see this dream become a reality of hope for some of Bangkok's poorest families. Thanks for making a difference today!
