Standing Up for Vulnerable Children in Thailand

Children in Thailand who come from vulnerable migrant families from Myanmar and Laos face serious threats to their safety. The same is true for children from marginalized ethnic minorities in the north of the country. Their rights are often ignored, leaving them without protection or opportunities. Many are unable to attend school, end up living on the streets, or become victims of economic or sexual exploitation. KNH Thailand and its local partners work in border regions to protect these children, support their families, and help build safer, more resilient communities.

Our Focus of Work

Child Protection & Rights Awareness

Our partners conduct child-focused activities and raise awareness about children’s rights, highlighting the dangers of trafficking, exploitation, and abuse. By empowering children with knowledge and safe spaces, they help prevent violations before they happen.

Community Development

Through community-based projects and self-help groups, families – especially women – gain access to tools and support that help them avoid insecure and exploitative living conditions. These initiatives build long-term resilience within migrant and minority communities.

Support for Orphan Children

Specialized programs provide care and assistance for orphaned children, especially those impacted by HIV/AIDS. By expanding targeted support, KNH ensures that even the most marginalized children receive protection, stability, and hope for a safer future.
