Baan Unrak Foundation

Founded in 1990, Baan Unrak Foundation has been a pillar and frontline organization in Sangkhlaburi as well as the surrounding border area to Myanmar. In the last 30 years, Baan Unrak has provided food, shelter, education, medical care and relief to over 40,000 families and 1,000 children and women fleeing from domestic violence, extreme poverty and orphanhood.

 

What we do

Children’s home

Today, Baan Unrak is home to 130 children (aged 9 months – 17 years old) and 10 single mothers. It employs 20 staff, most of whom are former children or mothers of the home.
The children’s home provides the following:

▪ A caring, structured, and nurturing environment where children can grow and thrive.

▪ A medical clinic, nursery and access to education

▪In addition to school and activities, the children have their daily chores and responsibilities, the teenagers participate monthly to relief work in the community, instilling important values of helping others.

▪ Scholarships to children entering university or vocational training: Baan Unrak graduates include nurses, engineers, teachers and managers.

Outreach and Relief work in the Community

Many families of Sangkhlaburi and the neighboring border towns to Myanmar have suffered through severe hardship in the past years and have not since recovered. Extreme poverty, combined with a lack of rights and opportunities for migrant children and families have left these families with few recourses and a desperate need for basic food staples, hygiene and medical care.

From the very beginning, Baan Unrak has been instrumental in offering relief to the most vulnerable men and women; those who are too old to work, disabled, widowed or left alone with little children.

By building a strong network with social workers in the community to identify families in need, Baan Unrak gives monthly food donations and medical counseling by a certified nurse, serving over 200 families and individuals in just in 2021.

Additional programs

Over the years, Baan Unrak has also created a variety of sustainable projects at the children’s home. These initiatives provide training and skill-building opportunities for the mothers of the home, as well as the children who enjoy baking and taking care of the fruit and vegetable garden.

▪ Weaving and Sewing center

▪ The Restaurant & Café

▪ Organic Garden and Farm

All the products are grown traditionally and without any chemicals
