The safe way to school

Thailand

Kids of a Karen community on their way to school Education means future. Karen kids at school When school is over Preschoolers of a Karen community

School bus program

High in the north, along the border with Myanmar lies Mae Hong Son, one of the poorest of Thailand's 77 provinces. Embedded in wild mountainous terrain and partly inaccessible jungle lives the Karen communities, an ethnic minority that has been subjected to human rights violations and persecuted for decades by Myanmar military dictatorship, before fleeing to Thailand. Today they are among the "mountain peoples" of Thailand. Resources are not allocated to the area, which is why communities live without clean water, electricity and lack of infrastructure. Due to the lack of government support, the region has a low number of children enrolled in school. This is mainly due to its inaccessible geographic location and the long distances each child must travel to get to school. The Karen Hilltribes Trust is an international organization working to improve access to education for children and youth of marginalized Karen communities. They work together with the communities to find sustainable solutions. And to ensure access to school for remote villages, they designed a school transport service that is safe and cost-effective and makes sure that every child can access education. Many children would be forced to drop out of school without this vital service because there is no affordable, accessible and safe way for them to get there. Help keep this important service going by donating. Let´s make education accessible for everyone!
