Supporting Thai children to finish highschool

Founded in 1999, FERC is charitable organization run entirely by volunteers. We raise funds to help disadvantaged rural children in Northern Thailand benefit fully from their schooling.
We are an equal opportunities organization: ethnic, religious and political backgrounds do not influence our choice of beneficiary or educational activity.
We provide scholarships to students from low-income families in Northern Thailand, who would otherwise leave school at 15 years of age. The scholarship enables them to stay on at school for a further three years, and gives them the opportunity to go on to further training or academic study, and thereby enhance their career prospects in the future.
By becoming a sponsor you support a student for the full 3 years it takes to get their diploma.
Thanks to one-off or regular donations, we can support students for whom we do not (yet) have a sponsor.
100% of the revenues benefit the cause of FERC.
The volunteers who run FERC do not receive any compensation. Your sponsor contribution goes entirely to the student you sponsor.
There are some minor unavoidable organizational costs, such as bank costs and the costs for this website. These are paid for through special fundraising and donations.
