Strengthen Families in Thailand

The Connie’s Home project was established to care for sick infants awaiting adoption. Often these children are set aside after being added to the adoption lists because their unaided health conditions progress and eventually results in their being removed from the list. It is the mission of Connie’s Home staff to recognize the value and potential of each child, nursing them back to health until the children can be successfully adopted, usually before reaching school age. Each child receives the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual care that will help them through the adoption transition ahead.

Connie’s Home makes every effort to develop our staff and provide opportunities for their professional growth. We partner with external organizations to train some of our staff to become au pairs to work in western homes. All of our staff are professionally trained to follow strict safety guidelines and understand benchmarks in childcare and development. We also provide live-in, on the job training for young women who are finishing their sentence at the Chiang Mai (Women’s) Juvenile Detention Center. As these young women learn to care for children, they receive life and job skills training that will help establish their lives on a more stable foundation.

Thank you for partnering with us to support so many families in many different ways!

Seed of Hope is a project in Northern Thailand supporting families by providing access to education and housing for children who come from remote mountain areas who would otherwise be at risk of not attending school. The team is currently wrapping up the construction of a new education center that will be used to enhance the support they already provide. The items needed to get things wrapped up are: light fixtures, air conditioning units, a few bath fixtures, hot water heaters, curtains, desks, storage bins for school supplies, book shelves, etc. They are also upgrading outdated septic tanks that support both the boys and girls dorms. Recently, they were able to host 500 people from the nearby villages for a celebration! A lot of those who came were families of students from the dorm and the new education center was used for the first time. It was a wonderful time and nice to have a place for people to eat and visit in the shade. Thank you all for your generosity and continued support to help better the lives of students in Northern Thailand!
