What your sponsorship supports
Real projects. Real people. Lasting change.
Rotary supports its projects directly — with building, equipment, expertise and time, not only money. Here is where the funds go, across more than 30 provinces of Thailand.
Clean drinking water for schools
Clean water that lasts a decade
Many children in rural Thailand drink untreated water at school — making them ill and impairing their studies. Since 1996 our programme has installed reverse-osmosis purification systems in poor rural schools, each one maintained locally and housed in a shed the community builds and owns.
Kids Day Out
A day at the beach they never forget
Each year we host 200+ handicapped and under-privileged children for a day at the beach at the Royal Varuna Yacht Club in Pattaya. Up to 150 Rotarians, friends and students from Shrewsbury International School help the children enjoy the sand, surf and sun — with lunch and entertainment to round off the day.
Library books for primary schools
Books that open the world
Kits of 120 Thai-language texts — selected by Chulalongkorn University's Sasin Graduate Institute as suitable for Primary Grades 1–6 — are donated to small, poor rural schools with limited library facilities, chosen alongside the local Rotary clubs we work with on water and other projects.
Needy students · the Luang Sit Fund
Four years of university, fully backed
Created in 1964 with the Needy Student Foundation, the Luang Sit Fund lets individual Bangkok South members support a needy student through four years of university. The programme provides Baht 10,000 per student, per year, for students recommended and selected by the Foundation.
Care for the young, deaf, blind & infirm
Standing beside those who need it most
We work with institutions caring for the vulnerable — refurbishing the Sparrow Home kitchen, buying Braille paper and hearing-aid batteries, funding sign-language courses and community rehabilitation, and providing physiotherapy equipment.

Self-sustaining community projects
A livelihood, not just a hand-out
In low-income communities across Bangkok we provide the idea, the equipment and ongoing training to build self-sustaining livelihoods — then step back as the community runs it.
