Keep a Roof Over the Heads of 83 Orphans

In today’s rapidly changing world, the children in Mercy Homes face many challenges beyond having a safe place to sleep. They are growing up in a society marked by inequality, the fast pace of technology, and the lasting impact of difficult experiences from their past.

Thanks to your kindness and generosity, Mercy Centre continues to provide a safe, stable, and nurturing environment where children can heal, learn, and grow. Your support helps us ensure safeguarding, education, emotional wellbeing, healthcare, nutritious meals, and daily care for every child in our homes.

As our children grow into adolescence and young adulthood, they face new challenges related to confidence, identity, peer influence, future planning, and preparation for independent living. While they have access to education, mentoring, internships, and employment opportunities, many still need encouragement and guidance to believe in their own potential and see positive pathways for their future.

Our priorities remain focused on maintaining high-quality care, supporting healthy development, strengthening transition planning, and equipping young people with the skills, confidence, and resilience needed to build independent and productive lives.

Mercy Homes continues to focus on:
• Building confidence and self-esteem
• Expanding career exposure, mentoring, and life-planning opportunities
• Strengthening life skills and independent living preparation
• Supporting successful transitions into further education, employment, and adulthood

Beyond their studies, the children participate in meaningful weekend activities that help them discover their talents, develop discipline, and build confidence. These include dance classes, traditional Thai dance, Thai music, Taekwondo, sports, and creative activities that enrich their lives and create joyful childhood memories.

None of this would be possible without you.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting the Keep a Roof Over the Heads of 83 Orphans project. Your generosity provides far more than shelter—it provides safety, opportunity, hope, and a sense of belonging. Most importantly, you are helping children and young people break the cycle of poverty and build brighter futures for themselves and their communities.

On behalf of all the children, young people, and staff at Mercy Centre, thank you for standing beside us and believing in their potential. Your compassion is making a lasting difference every single day.

We would love for you to stay connected and witness the impact of your kindness firsthand.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Warm greetings from Mercy Centre.

We would like to humbly share an update with you regarding the children under the project “Keep a Roof Over the Heads of 83 Orphans ”. Your continued kindness ensures that these children not only have shelter, but also safety, stability, and hope for the future.

At this time in Thailand, children across the country are preparing for their school examinations. At Mercy Centre, we gently remind our children that education is one of the most important gifts they can receive. We encourage them to see learning as a pathway to independence — a way to build confidence, discover their talents, and create opportunities for their own future. Education gives them choices. It gives them dignity. Most importantly, it allows them to stand firmly on their own feet one day.

Because of your support, our home remains a secure and nurturing place where the children can focus on their studies without fear. Our team provides tutoring, guidance, and encouragement, helping them prepare with confidence and determination.

Last year, we opened our doors to welcome nine new children into our care. This year, we have welcomed four more — most of them between 3 to 6 years old, while others are studying at primary and secondary levels. Each child arrives with a different story. Some have experienced life on the streets, homelessness, difficult living conditions, or violence within their families. These early hardships are heavy burdens for young hearts.

Mercy Centre strives to be a safe haven for them — a place where they can rest, heal, and simply be children again. A place where laughter slowly replaces fear, and where dreams begin to grow.

Your generosity makes this possible. By supporting this program, you are not only keeping a roof over their heads — you are helping us create a home filled with care, structure, warmth, and protection. You are giving them stability during their most vulnerable years.

On behalf of all 83 children, and the new little ones who have just joined our family, we extend our deepest gratitude. Thank you for standing beside them. Thank you for believing that every child deserves safety, education, and the opportunity to build a brighter future.

With sincere appreciation,
Prawina
