Philanthropy in Thailand

Partners Asia

Partners Asia forges relationships with local leaders who work to serve the needs of “invisible” populations—refugees, migrants, ethnic minorities, LGBTQI - living in South East Asia and beyond. We elevate the work of these local groups and support them as they grow. We do not “help” our partners. Instead, we listen to what they say they need, and follow their lead. We partner. And we bridge the gap between local organizations and global funding.

Asia Center Foundation

Asia Center Foundation (ACF) is a Christian charity registered as a Non-Government Organization (NGO) on Phuket, Thailand in operation since 2002. Our mission is to help disadvantaged children and children-at-risk by providing care, training, and education so that they will fulfill their God-given potential. The ACF’s vision is to restore children to God, transform and develop them into leaders influencing their world. ACF employs local Thai staff and also makes use of the help of local and international volunteers to engage and work with underprivileged, impoverished children and children-at-risk on Phuket. Out of the 57 million primary-school-age children who are out of school around the world, live in Thailand. The Asia Center Foundation started as a Christian charity, by responding to a need in the community for basic English teaching in Patong, one of the main tourist areas. Since then, ACF rented facilities to host its childcare centers in different parts of the island. By creating both educational and sports programs, ACF helps children to focus on their education and overall development. Despite the difficult and impoverished situations of the students, ACF aims to give them hope to believe in themselves for a brighter future. Read more about our history. With the help of a dedicated team of staff, board members, volunteers, and donors, ACF has managed to make an impact on many children's’ lives since 2002. Read stories from children to learn how ACF has helped them.

Phuket Has Been Good To Us Foundation

Phuket Has Been Good To Us Foundation works to improve the opportunities for the children of Phuket, Thailand. As a not-for-profit registered charity, our goal is to give underprivileged children, a chance to learn English so that they may have a bright future. The Foundation fosters vocational opportunities by funding and implementing high-quality, practical English language education and running extra curricula activities in government schools. Of the students we currently teach at the Rachaprachanukroh School in Kamala, 150 are orphans, or their families cannot care for them. These 6 – 18 students live seven days a week at the school. These children’s self-esteem and education have suffered due to their family circumstances and they are without many of the advantages and opportunities of their peers. Coconut Club, an afterschool and weekend programme, was established to help them with their English language studies, develop their self-confidence and self-worth, and enhance their life skills.
