Our Current & Future Objectives

Until true independence - continuous support and launching “Small Farm” project

Thanks to anti-viral therapy adopted in 2002,children are growing up healthy, but they must all take anti-viral medications on a daily basis and will continue to have to take these drugs for the rest of their lives, and fight against prejudice. Some children will grow up and become productive members of society, some children will never be able to leave Ban Rom Sai. For those children, we want to create opportunities for them at Ban Rom Sai, so that they may earn a living, without having to leave the orphanage. Therefore, in addition to the current sewing room and guest house, we are trying to launch the ‘Small Farm Project’ . Here, we envision that children can learn about natural farming method. We hope this becomes a good occupational training site and base for their independence. Please consider supporting us.

For a better society without discrimination and prejudice against those with HIV/AIDS
During the first several years after the establishment of Ban Rom Sai, we were protested by local villagers, who barred our children to go to the local elementary school. They also forbade the local children to come close to Ban Rom Sai. But with our efforts to educate and deepen the local people’s understanding regarding HIV/AIDS, through lectures and open days at Ban Rom Sai.
We have won the support and trust of the villagers. Today, the same local children, who were afraid to set food in Ban Rom Sai, now come visit the children at Ban Rom Sai, study and play together, even sharing lunches together. This has been a big step for Ban Rom Sai.
However, there is still exists discrimination and prejudice in Thai society as a whole, against those with HIV. Ban Rom Sai wants to continue to work hard to eliminate these prejudices and misunderstandings.

For a better environment
From the beginning, Ban Rom Sai adopted composting, to recycle raw garbage and to use it as fertilizer. In 2010, we launched the ‘No Garbage Project’, to work local villagers on separating garbage and trying to recycle as much of the garbage as possible. This is part of our community work, to help the environment, help general hygiene and raise awareness about recycling.
