Holistic Care for 450 HIV Positive Thai Families

Due to your help Siam-Care is able to support many underprivileged families. We are very thankful for the many who support our project in different forms. We cannot change the whole world. But we can we have a huge impact on some families. Like the Buritan family, consisting of the 18 year old mother Por, her boyfriend Eak (19) and their 2 children Ping (2) and Nok (0).

Some of the families we support have a relatively decent house, usually inherited from family. But for the Buritan family, this is a completely different story. Both Por and Eak's parents died at quite a young age because of HIV/Aids, without any personal belongings. So after Por and Eak started dating and Por got pregnant when she was 16, they didn't have a proper place to live in. Two years later Por got pregnant again and now Por and Eak have 2 beautiful children. But no job or money to take care of them and to pay for rent.

Enter house thrue the window
Both Por and Eak didn't finish their high school. Hence is it difficult for them to find a good job. They are completely on their own, no family or friends to support them. Father Eak makes some money by selling food on the street. He makes around 3000 baht a month (90 USD), which is not enough to cover all their expenses. They cannot afford to live in a normal house. Fortunately the family found a room that they can rent. It is very small but at least they have a place to sleep and protect their children. The only thing is: their room doesn't have a door, the family has to enter their house thrue the window. Which is quite difficult with two young children.

How we support the family
With your support we would like to provide the Buritan family with some food, like milk for the 2 young children. Also we would like to train father Eak to find a better job so that the family can move to a better place. Also we would love to teach Mother Por and Eak how to raise children, since both parents are very young and don't have someone who tells them how to raise children. Thank you for your continuing support for this project. You don't change the world by donating to Siam-Care. But you do make a big difference in the lives of some families, like the Buritan family.
