​​In the western provinces of Thailand along the border with Myanmar there are many thousands of migrant families who have escaped the many years of fighting in Myanmar. These families are unable to access government welfare and are often paid below the minimum wage leading to extreme poverty. This is the cause for most of the 135,000 children in unregulated children’s home and other institution where they are at risk of abuse, neglect and exploitation. One Sky is playing leading role in the ACT project to regulate and supervise homes throughout Thailand to limit the number of children going into home to essential cases only

CARA is a UK registered charity raising funds to supporting migrant and Ethnic Minority children in Thailand. The funds are sent to One Sky Foundation in Sangkhlaburi northwest of Bangkok close to the border with Myanmar.  The funds are used to provide poor families with an alternative to putting their children into a home where they maybe at risk. We support children with small bursaries to enable them to attend the free government schools. Over ten years this has transformed the lives of many hundreds of children. We also provide funds to One Sky’s broader welfare work aimed keeping children with the family as an alternative to putting them at risk in a home.
