St. Camillus Foundation of Thailand

Organization Description: 

Our Center is located in the Chiangrai area and Chiangrai Province (north of Thailand) is home of several hill-tribe people. The Camillian Social Center, so far, provides the opportunity and hope for the families of several hundred of hill-tribe children.

Despite being born on Thai soil and having here for their lives, many of the hill-tribe peoples in Thailand are not considered Thai citizens. They must formally apply for the rights and privileges of citizenship, but some are unaware and other neglect to apply for them. Without citizenship they dont have the common rights as to vote, to have access to government health and to a high education.
