Mission: With a large number of people living in poverty in Northern Thailand, we have made it our mission to try and break the cycle of poverty through access to education for those that need it the most. While everybody is able to receive schooling through to grade 9, it is often not enough for getting a proper job, and leaves these teenagers vulnerable to exploitation, trafficking and abuse. By helping these young, bright minds to be able to receive further formal education and get a diploma or degree, we aim to help them find their own success stories in life.
Results: Since its inception in 2015, Skills 4 Life has been able to change the lives of over 40 young adults and help them to break free from the vicious cycle of poverty.
Target demographics: Disadvantaged teenagers
Direct beneficiaries per year: 39 teenagers
Geographic areas served: Chiang Mai, Thailand
Programs: Access to education beyond grade 9
