PROJECT SUMMARY
Baan Saan Rak or “House of Love” in English, is a Foster Care Home established in 2003, in Maelao, Chiang Rai Province, north of Thailand, near Myanmar border. We are a non-government and non-religious organization who take care of children in vulnerable conditions or social exclusion (orphans, broken families, extreme poverty, etc.)
Actually we offer a home for 33 children between 4 and 20 years old who comes mostly from thai-japanese families and Akha and Lahu tribes, even though the admission is open to every children who need a home, without make any difference on race, ethnicity or religion. Now most of them live in the foster home but some of them had to migrate to other cities to continue their studies, even though they are still linkage and under wardship of Baan Saan Rak.
