Help without Frontiers Thailand Foundation

Since 2002, Help Without Frontiers (HwF) provides help and support along the

Thai-Myanmar border to displaced people that find themselves in emergency situations. In

2007, the organization was registered with the Tak authorities and has since been

operating legally according to the Thai labour laws.

Our vision is to create a world where help can be provided to the most vulnerable and

marginalised populations without discrimination, without exclusion and without borders.

Our mission is to fight the root causes of poverty and discrimination faced by marginalised

migrants and refugees from Myanmar, ensuring help can be given without prejudice across

borders, to the most in need.

All our work and projects are based on five key pillars, which we operate within and

measure ourselves against:

1) Education: we are committed to promoting education equality for all; connecting

students and out of school children to enrolment of alternative accreditation programmes

ensuring formal recognition of their education;

2) Youth: we believe it’s pivotal to be able to educate young migrant people about social

problems like human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, child rights abuse, sexual

exploitation and drug abuse which is why the Rays of Youth project was created to drive

this awareness within communities;

3) Health: programmes on nutrition, sanitation and health are essential for the well-being

of the marginalised Burmese groups. Our wellness projects promote basic health services

for mothers and children, support families and family planning and provide the awareness

raising trainings on basic hygiene

4) Community development: the long-term goals of having communities being able to

sustain themselves is crucial and is why we invest in project that empower marginalised

communities with a range of different skills and knowledge

5) Child protection: We implement a strict Child Safeguarding Policy and are resolute in

our support of children’s rights for each child, as every single child deserves to achieve

their full potential.
