Empower International of Thailand

Empower International of Thailand gives priority to help underprivileged children and young adults to achieve quality education. There are many underprivileged children in Thailand such as the poor and orphaned children, as well as many young adults are not attending high school because of the lack of money. Some of them have to work full time just to provide for themselves and their family.

If children must work full time from the time they are young they miss the opportunity to achieve quality education. They miss opportunities to improve their potential and to become influential citizens which is an important position to achieve for social and economic development. Children are the future of every nation. If today, we empower children and young adults to improve their education, talents, and character we also help the future of the nation.
