Programs
3 programs
Our programs in thailand are accomplished through grants to the life impact thailand foundation, established in 2015 and based in mae sot, thailand. The foundation is government-recognized and certified, the first of its kind on the thai-burma border, organized to properly facilitate operations in the country. Our 18 family-style safe homes are located on 52 acres. Our emergency shelter is in an undisclosed location. In 2024, we housed and cared for just over 100 underage children who had been exploited, abused, trafficked, or were living as orphans. Twenty-four of these children were rescued in 2024. Every rescued child has house parents, lives in a family-style safe home, and is provided all of life's necessities, including education and medical care. The children also participate in extracurricular activities like sports and music programs. Besides rescuing children, we also take steps to prevent thousands of children from being sold, trafficked, or pressured into a life of exploitation and slavery through our outreach and prevention projects. In 2024, we held 112 outreach events, raising awareness and providing food and supplies, as well as emergency support where needed. We reached over 2,100 vulnerable and at-risk people in schools, slums, and villages. We distributed more than 45,000 pounds of food. We supported as many as 32 families each month with over 20,000 lbs of food and supplies. We also partnered with six schools helping about 460 students. See schedule f for more details about our grant-making and monitoring process.
Burma (myanmar) ministrybecause of the ongoing civil war, we offer disaster relief to internally displaced people in the jungles of burma and extremely vulnerable children who are at risk of being taken as child soldiers or arranged child brides. In 2024, we helped over 1,100 men, women, and children living in fear because of the war. We delivered 3,090 pounds of food and held 2 outreaches. In addition to relief for those displaced by war, we also housed 13 children in the house of hope, a safe home for orphans of war and at-risk children. We also welcomed 8 children into our boarding home who have been separated from their parents until they can be reunited with them. The house of hope sits on 12 acres and was home to 21 children impacted by the war.
General ministryin 2024, we continued fulfilling our mission to prevent, rescue, and heal. We worked to prevent the exploitation and trafficking of at-risk children, rescue those already victims, and heal those who have experienced trauma because of it. To fulfill our organization's mission in thailand, burma, and brazil, we have multiple prevention projects and continuous outreach programs in place. In thailand, we have rescue homes through the life impact thailand foundation and regularly conduct community outreaches along the thai/burma border. We are working to open our first rescue home in brazil. In our prevention projects there, we reach nearly 1,000 children. We feed families and provide children with educational opportunities, tutoring, and extracurricular activities such as ballet and soccer. We also offer vocational training for older children. We provide counseling through all of our programs to help children heal from the trauma they've experienced. And we tell them about the greatest rescuer of all, jesus. In 2024 we granted an african orphanage $50,000.
