Fund Isaan
A Future For Every Child
Who Are We?

We concentrate on educational initiatives that empower children and strengthen local communities.

Through targeted educational initiatives, Fund Isaan creates opportunities for children in northeastern Thailand:
Scholarships
Providing non-repayable financial support to academically gifted students facing financial barriers.
IT Classes
Establishing and maintaining modern computer labs in regional schools.

Deploying well-prepared volunteers to assist local teachers, enhancing English language education.

Our Objectives
Fund Isaan's purpose, as outlined in our official protocol, is to support educational and micro-economic initiatives in underserved regions of Southeast Asia, primarily but not exclusively Isaan, Thailand. We place volunteers in local schools, provide scholarships to carefully screened students, and invest in technological solutions. In line with the philosophy of the King Baudouin Foundation, our initiatives aim for sustainable impact and multiplier effects, either independently or in collaboration with other organizations.
