About EDF

 

The Education for Development Foundation (EDF) was established in 1987 and officially registered with Ministry of Interior as a charitable organization No.4794 in 1991 and was announced by Ministry of Finance in 1994 as a Public Charity No. 255 with tax-exempted status under the laws of Thailand. Every single donation to support any of EDF scholarship programs or school development projects can be tax-exempted fully allowed by Thai laws.
 
For children in rural Thailand, poverty means more than just a lack of money. It means a lack of opportunities and hope for the future. Many are forced to leave school in order to find work to support their families. Yet without education, their employment options are limited and prospects are low. It is a vicious circle that affects the children and their families.

Our goal is to improve educational opportunities and the quality of life for less fortunate children and youths in remote areas of Thailand. Sponsored students receive many opportunities to develop necessary life skills and gain valuable knowledge that can be applied throughout their lives. 
 
Our ultimate goal is to encourage these children and youths to free themselves from the cycle of poverty. Education also helps them become quality human resources for the betterment of their own families, rural hometowns and the country as a whole.
