Many poor minority groups living on the Thai-Burmese border are considered stateless. Unable to attain jobs many often turn to illicit work; selling and using drugs, begging to feed their children or selling their children into trafficking to make money.

In Thailand, Not For Sale assists abolitionist Kru Nam to provide long-term support for stateless street children rescued from exploitation to meet their basic needs and equip them to protect themselves against exploitation. Survivors are offered a stable living environment, health-care, the opportunity to go to school, and life skills (e.g. organic farming, animal husbandry) that equip the children for a healthy future. Watch the video to see the model in action.

How You Can Help in Thailand

On the Ground in Thailand

Kru Nam's home is not only a haven but a new start for many of these young and exploited children. Therefore, it is both a matter of tragedy and providence that wealthy Chinese investors aim to turn the area around her village into a Vegas-style resort. Within ten miles would be casinos, a golf course, resorts, a brewery and major roads. All of these activities will surely drive the sex trafficking of children and women. NFS is proactively engaged in buying property that Kru Nam and her kids can use to grow crops and plant a protective forest, acting as a security shield against these dens of iniquity while providing income and vocational skills to the children. The land will include an organic farm and teak tree agroforestry project.

We need your help to buy and develop this land to create a sustainable future for the kids of Thailand.
