Thailand

The Raks Thai Foundation (the local name of CARE in Thailand) became a member of CARE International in January 2003, becoming the first CARE member from a developing country.

Relief efforts in Thailand

CARE’s work in Thailand began in 1979, initially responding to the Cambodian refugee influx along Thailand’s borders. The Raks Thai Foundation (the local name of CARE in Thailand) became a member of CARE International in January 2003, becoming the first CARE member from a developing country.

Today, CARE works to promote food and nutrition security and resilience in the face of climate change, access to economic resources, especially for women, the pursuit of lives free from violence, emergency preparedness, and disaster recovery.

Program areas:

Disasters & Emergencies

Food & Water

Education & Livelihoods

Donate now

Support our ongoing work to create a more equal world.

Your donation can help end extreme poverty and give people the means to build a better future for themselves in countries like Thailand.

For those living in extreme poverty, your support brings education and training, healthcare and clean water, nutritious food, and new ways to earn an income. And in times of crisis, you help us deliver emergency relief. Please donate today.
