Baan Dek Foundation (BDF) is a non-profit, non-political and non-religious organization based in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. BDF core mission is to provide access to education, health, and safety services to the most vulnerable children living in urban slums and construction site camps in Thailand.
Over the last 10 years of grassroots work originating in Chiang Mai, Baan Dek Foundation established key partnerships with construction companies and real estate developers to build sustainable impact in construction site camps and improve the lives and access to basic services of construction workers and their children.
In 2018, BDF and UNICEF Thailand, developed a Framework for Action, a set of 12 actionable recommendations for construction companies, published in the Building Futures in Thailand.
Following the publication of this framework for action, BDF developed and piloted with pioneer construction companies practical tools for construction companies to operationalise and ease the integration of the framework for action into companies business activities.
Through the recent launch of the Building Social Impact initiative, BDF would like to scale up and reach a wide adoption of this framework and tools in the construction sector. https://www.buildingsocialimpact.org/eng
