We are happy to report that Mekong Regional Indigenous Child Rights Home (MRICRH) in Mae Chan, Chiang Rai Province continues to be operational in its pursuit to provide a safe home for high-risk children and women in the Greater Mekong Sub region (GMS) of Northern Thailand. This home provides crucial support for those that have been orphaned, trafficked, abandoned, and neglected. The children and women receive shelter, protection, life skills development training, nutritious home made meals, family outreach services, government school education, basic necessities, medical care, school supplies, transportation to/from school, and vocational training.
In the last 3 months everything has essentially remained the same. MRICRH is still working with a limited budget so is unable at this time to house anymore children and women. The bright side, though, is that the 3 children and one young woman living there are thriving and doing well. The children are currently in school and working hard and excelling academically. Others seeking help are being redirected to nearby organizations operating under the same mission.
Thank you for taking the time to read our update. This program is essential in allowing DEPDC to carry out its mission. Your donations help in so many ways and support never before had opportunities for those that need them most.
On behalf of all the children, teachers, and volunteers at DEPDC, we would like to say thank you to all our past, present and future donors for your generous support. People like you represent the necessary partnerships that keep our centre flourishing. Please continue to provide your much appreciated support and don’t forget to spread the word about MRICRH by following, liking, and sharing our updates on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn!
