Get to Know Thailand Programme
Over the past three decades, Thailand has observed spectacular economic growth that has raised per capita income substantially. But poverty still exists among vulnerable and marginalised people in urban and rural areas. The country has one of the greatest gaps between rich and poor in East Asia, and the gap continues to grow.
Our Thailand Programme works with local partner NGOs, community based organisations, activists, academics, researchers, government and civil society groups in an effort to shorten these gaps. A number of our ongoing projects and initiatives include setting up an early disaster warning system for coastal communities along the Andaman coast, promoting free treatment access for those living with HIV, promoting sustainable agriculture, organic farming, and small scale fishery, as well as improving socio-economic opportunities for poor women affected by conflict.
