We are a Belgian Thai non-profit working with schools and communities in Isaan.
Isaan is home to one third of Thailand's population and faces persistent rural poverty.
Scholarships for bright students, volunteer English support, and IT classes in rural schools.
Ever wondered how it is to be a Fund Isaan volunteer?
Three delaware volunteers Elyne, Sophie and Jeroen made a short video impression which we are happy to share with all of you!

Thanks to the support of our loyal sponsors Thaise Vrienden Wevelgem and Deloitte Belgium we were able to install 10 new computer classes in May 2023!
Like always we ordered the equipment, 210 portable computers, including windows and office licenses, from Close The Gap in Belgium.
On May 13, 2023 the pc’s arrived in Bangkok and were customs cleared. A few days later a truck delivered the shipment at our offices in Prasat Surin.
To make sure our scholarship students can pay their tuition fee for the first semester of 2023/2024 timely we recently reached out to all of them and where applicable paid their scholarships.
It was a pleasure to hear their stories and see their progress.
Now that schools have returned back to onsite classes (instead of online classes as was the case during the covid crisis) we see a gradual improvement of their grades.
Following the success of our Digital Bootcamp back in November and seen the number of schools applying for a session at their premises we organized an additional three weeks in January.
Between January 10 and January 27 we visited below schools and universities with our one day Digital Bootcamp: "a vision of the future!"
We wish all our friends, sponsors, scholarship students a very, very happy New Year!
