Mission
Give hope and support to vulnerable pregnant women, provide foster care for children waiting to be adopted, and protect and restore victims of sexual abuse.
Vision
Empowered Thai mothers living sustainably, children raised in healthy families, and communities transformed by the love of Jesus Christ.
Profile
Young mothers often drop out of school or leave their children with grandparents in the village while they go look for work in Bangkok or tourist areas, never developing meaningful relationships with their children. Our program is designed to give these young mothers the emotional support, parenting skills, and educational opportunities they need to raise their own children.
In cases where a mother gives her child up for adoption or if an infant is abandoned, we partner with Holt International’s local foundation, the local Thai Christian church, and the Thai government to provide foster care until the child is placed with a permanent family, so they don’t have to enter institutional facilities.
Because many of the women and children we serve have been sexually abused, we also operate a child advocacy center to provide support, justice, and aftercare to victims and their families. While partnering with the local church, we have the unique opportunity to promote the value of life and share the love of Christ and the truth of the Gospel with people of influence that we partner with regularly.
