Our Primary Commitments
At TCDF our sustainable community based-initiatives empower growth and well-being for underserved children in Thailands rural villages. The three pillars or our transformative work are: education, healthcare, and sustainability.
Healthcare
Every child deserves a fair chance, regardless of their unique health challenges or personal circumstances. TCDF is dedicated to the holistic health and well-being of underserved children in the rural villages in Thailand.
Sustainability
Our work teaches children to become self-sufficient, contributing members of their communities. TCDF's entrepreneurial and agricultural curriculum at our forest school campus teaches valuable skills for resilient futures.
Empowering the Unseen
As Thailand progresses swiftly, its rural communities often remain underserved, missing out on essential care and education. At our foundation, we deeply recognize these disparities and passionately step in to support all overlooked children who may fall outside the systems due to family circumstances, poverty or special needs.

Our mission transcends traditional aid, aiming for sustainable change and improved life quality without taking the children out of their homes. Our grassroots community led teams closely collaborate with local schools, healthcare hubs, and village leaders enabling us to reach the hidden children in the far away villages in rural Thailand.
