How to Donate

Thanks to all those who made it out on Sunday and for those who could not make it, it's not too late to donate!  Our goal is to reach $2500 by Christmas, meaning we only need $1000 more!

We had a great time and managed to raise $1585 for the "Canadians for Kaeng Krachan Scholarship Fund"...BUT we're still short of our $2500 goal.

If you are still interested in donating, you can use paypal or email a money transfer (kaengkrachanfund@gmail.com). Please help us send our students to school.

Thank you!

Rachel, Amanda and Tannis

Canadians for Kaeng Krachan Scholarship


Canadians for Kaeng Krachan Scholarship

How it works:

The school appointed a teacher to organize the allotment of the scholarship money in accordance to the student’s needs and who will also ensure the funds are used specifically for education expenses.

The criteria used to assess which students will receive the scholarship (decided on by the school director and teachers):
Students who come from poor families; strong academic record; good overall performance and behaviour; a desire to continue education in high school

Last year we raised $2000 = 63, 615 Thai Baht

The teaching team in Kaeng Krachan was able to distribute the funds to 4 students (two boys and two girls). Each student will receive an annual payment for a total of three years (until the completion of secondary school).

The scholarships were presented along with the Economic Faculty Alumni Scholarships (funded by one of the school directors and his friends) last January.
