Baan Dek is a Thai-registered Foundation with the mission of providing access to education, health, and safety services for all vulnerable children. Baan Dek Foundation (BDF) supports over 1800 children each year across over 60 construction site camp, slum or low income communities around Bangkok and Chiang Mai in Thailand.

 

The Bangkok branch of Baan Dek is relatively young, only 1.5 years old, whereas Baan Dek has been operating for 18 years in Chiang Mai. BDF’s focus in Bangkok is with the construction sector, working in partnership with construction companies and real estate developers to support sustainable, systemic improvements in construction site camps, in terms of social impact, for children and their construction worker parents. The framework for this work is developed as per the research project BDF did in partnership with UNICEF published in 2017, Building Futures in Thailand, and is called the Chiang Mai Framework for Action (CMFA). It provides 12 key focus areas for companies to improve their social impact.

This will include interviews with all interested and affected stakeholders according to the expected impact of the framework and participatory valuation of this impact. Affected stakeholders include the public community surrounding the camps.
