Details
Description
Our organization was founded in 2014 in the rural villages near Chiang Khong, Chai Rai district. We saw the people from our villages did not have the opportunity or the resources to go to the hospital if there was an emergency, along with other major issues within our population related to poverty.
For this reason we work with volunteers to support and help our community with various social services. We are available if there is a medical emergency or an accident, we have a car, a basic ambulance and enough medical equipment to bring them to the hospital. We help people with funeral arrangement and we support with food and other supplies to people without relatives.
We do our best to collect money from donations to provide scholarships for underprivileged children and bring social benefits to our community.
We do not speak English, or at a very basic level, but we use a translator to communicate.
