Fund for Food and Education for the Needy Children

Foundation of Education and Buddhism in Mekong Region, MCU,

Chiang Mai Campus

Project Background

The Foundation of Education and Buddhism in Mekong Region, MCU, Chiang Mai Campus has been established since 2005 with the key purpose to preserve Buddhism and the folk art, to sustain the unique culture and the beautiful local traditions in the Mekong Region. The foundation also serves the underprivileged by providing them shelter and education, helping them to gain self-development and become self-sustaining.
One of the projects of the Foundation is located along the ThaiMyanmar border. The area is situated in a remote location right next to the Thai-Myanmar checkpoint which remains politically sensitive. The majority of people who live there are those who have fled from Myanmar, escaping from the conflicts and fighting between the military based government of Myanmar and the minority group (Tai Yai or Shan people). They have nothing but temporary shelter on Thai soil. The camp is made possible by Thailand’s generosity and the recognition of human rights by Thailand. The people there are considered refugees. They are a mix of children, teens, old people and novice monks. Being in a remote location, it is not easy for people there to access the necessary public services. Furthermore, they have no Identification Card. The adults have only a document issued by the Thai government certifying that they are allowed to live in the area but cannot travel outside this permitted area.

Hence the adults cannot seek proper employment opportunities even though they are in the prime working age. As for the children at the camp, the chance to get proper education is close to zero. This makes the cycle of poverty inevitable. They are indeed underprivileged compared to most of us.

The Foundation of Education and Buddhism in Maekong Region and run by MCU Buddhist University, Chiang Mai Campus therefore took the initiative to setup the project entitled “Fund For Food and Education for the Needy Children Project” to serve the novices and the hungry children who reside at Wat Fah Wiang Intr and at the camp. There are currently approximately 300 underprivileged novices and students who can benefit from education, starting from the primary school level up to the senior high school level.

The Project’s Objectives

· To provide an opportunity to educate the novices and the

underprivileged children so that they will have a brighter future

· To provide the poor and hungry children with necessary food and nutrition

· To allow people in the society, particularly those who have more, to share with the underprivileged
