About Us
Knowledge is power and we encourage our students to study subjects and trades which they enjoy and want to pursue professionally.
We enroll up to 30 Hill Tribe youth who have completed the government
mandated 9th-grade schooling in our programme at any one given time and
help them to shape their futures and redefine their potential in our
program.
They will live in one of three townhouses at the foundation, located in
the heart of Chiang Mai, where we provide them with a safe and nurturing
haven, allowing them to focus on their education and professional
development when it matters the most.
Skills 4 Life covers all their expenses; from vocational fees and
accommodation to food and healthcare. Furthermore, we diligently pursue
legalising the status of those who do not have a government-issued ID
card; a difficult and tedious process, necessary for future employment
and integration into society. Due to the often tribal background of the
students, many have never been properly registered into the government
system due to a lack of infrastructure in the most rural areas from
which they originate, denying them many benefits and rights that stems
from this. We are committed to not only help them further their
education, but also to ensure that they have the tools and opportunities
to continue to keep growing and have a chance to change the direction of
their lives.
