Thailand Charities against Child Abuse in all its Forms

Children are thought of as a commodity by many in Thailand.
It is not uncommon for children to be bought and sold for
the equivalent of a few American dollars. Their lives are
not valued for more than what their owner can get out of
them, and use them for. Children are commonly exploited in
the sex and drug trafficking trade. There are many Thailand
charities with the goal to help protect children from
poverty, and being exploited in sex and drug trafficking
trade.

The Thailand Charity Abundant Life Foundation is located in
Chiang Mai. This Thailand Charity organization is reaching
into the heart of the problem, poverty and lack of
education and trades. Abundant Life Foundation takes in
children from some of the worse areas for sexual and drug
related exploitation of children. Abundant Life Foundation
is a Christian humanitarian organization in Thailand and is
funded by LeSea Global Feed the Hungry institution. The
Abundant Life Foundation is used to run Abundant Life
Children's Homes. Currently there are five Children's
Homes: Doisaket Children's Home in Chiangmai Province, Mae
La Noi Children's Home in Maehongson Province, Phangna
Children's Home in Phangna Province, the Refugee camp
Children's Home in Tak Province and Ban Den Children's Home
in Chiangmai Province. Children from the mountain, Tak, Mae
Hong Son, Chiangmai, Chiangrai and Phayao are given a safe
place to live, food, medical help, clothing and education.
Currently Abundant Life Foundation is working toward
creating a much needed network of outreach centers. The
centers are needed to provide shelter for underprivileged
and orphaned children.

The Thailand Charity FACE, The Coalition to Fight Against
Child Exploitation, does not take in children. But the
Thailand Charity does try to protect them by bringing about
change in the legal/justice system through monitoring and
assisting cases involving sexual crimes against children.
FACE is campaigning to change the attitude about sexual
crimes against children in Thailand and internationally.
This is done through keeping media interest and awareness
of the situation. FACE also presents lectures and
presentations and participates in many conferences,
seminars and workshops. The goal of this Thailand Charity
is to make law enforcements officers and the public be more
aware of the negative impact of child abuse. They are
trying to teach that it is a serious crime with real social
consequences for the victims and others. FACE also assists
law enforcement officers to obtain evidence, often from the
young child victims. They also accompany the children to
court and attempt to assist in solving victims personal and
family issues. FACE has several individual member
organizations with their own programs working with them.
The Center for the Protection of Children's Rights gives
shelter and legal aid to children who have been abused
sexually. Development & Education Programs for Daughters
and Communities Centre focuses on preventing children being
put into the sex business. They offer higher education for
girls at risk. Friends of Thai women Workers in Asia deal
with and help Thai women and children who have been
trafficked to Japan. Child Workers in Asia focuses on the
labor issues and abuse of children in Thailand.
