Thailand

Partner Village: Khao Lak, located in Southern Thailand outside of Phuket.

Relationship: TVC has been working in Khao Lak for many years on tsunami relief projects. We have set up multiple artisan workshops for the men and women in the community. We now help to support an orphanage housing over 30 children as a result o the 2004 tsunami. We recently provided brand new coffee making equipment to their income-generating coffee shop and completely renovated their bakery.

Current Needs: This orphanage is very well run and understands the need for income-generating businesses to help cover administrative expenses. They are making great strides with their coffee shop and bakery. We would like to provide some support to help them reach out to tour companies and tourists in general to create a flow of traffic into the shop. We would also like to help them renovate the current beds and mattresses.

Coffee Shop marketing support: $2,500
Orphanage renovation: $25,000
New beds and mattresses: $5,000 (30 sets)
