【Welfare】RAINBOW SCHOOL THAILAND

We would be grateful if you could take a little of your time to read the following.

As we have introduced several times on our website, there is an organization called the “Rainbow School” located in Sangkhlaburi District, Kanchanaburi Province, about seven hours by car from Bangkok near the border with Myanmar.

This school is managed mainly by a Japanese woman and provides daily living and educational support for orphans and children from impoverished families among the hill tribe communities.

Most of the children at the Rainbow School, including their parents, are stateless. In Thailand, stateless individuals face many restrictions in their daily lives, such as being unable to obtain passports, limited freedom of movement, and exclusion from social welfare systems.

The reasons behind their statelessness vary-from being members of hill tribes, being orphans or abandoned children, to being refugees who fled Myanmar’s civil conflict. They lack essential documents such as birth certificates and household registrations, which are required to obtain nationality. The issue of stateless hill tribe people is said to be extremely difficult to resolve, as it is closely tied to Thailand’s nationality laws, national security, political situations with neighboring countries, economic factors, and human rights concerns. Under the current system, the reality is that it is extremely difficult for these children to acquire nationality.

 

There are several ways to support the “Rainbow School.” If you are interested, we would be grateful if you could take a look at the website below.

This time, we have used our daily business knowledge to provide them with small support. Solar panels and LED lighting have been installed by our engineer.

It’s a small thing we can do, but we hope it helps children.
