Organizations Filed Purposes:
The mission of our organization is to rescue exploited/at-risk children by giving them stability and healing in our safe homes. We also help/prevent other at-risk children from exploitation through prevention projects in vulnerable communities.
Provide shelter, safe homes,and training to those rescued from abuse and exploitation in Thailand.
Thailand MinistryOur programs in Thailand are accomplished through grants to Life Impact Thailand Foundation, based in Mae Sot, Thailand. The Foundation was organized in order to properly facilitate operations in the country. See Schedule F for details about our grant-making and monitoring process.In 2015, Life Impact Thailand Foundation was officially approved as a Thailand Government Recognized Safe Home. The safe homes are on 41-acres which is located on the new highway that runs through the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The Foundation has the same legal authority as the police to rescue children that are trafficked in the areas spanning between China and Singapore. The Foundation is officially the watchtower along the ASEAN highway to intervene on behalf of the victims of child trafficking. The Life Impact Thailand Foundation provides every need for the children in their safe homes. This includes house parents, food, all education and medical needs, clothing and hygiene supplies, and extracurricular activities, such as sports and music programs.
General MinistryIn 2019, we continued working hard to prevent, rescue, and heal at-risk, exploited, and trafficked children. For many of the children we work with, going to school will significantly lessen their chances of being exploited. Education is an important key to a successful future because it will help them to rise above the cycle of poverty and discrimination that is so prevalent in many of the places in which we work. In 2019, we completely funded the protection and provision for approximately 150 children in our rescue homes, and we helped hundreds of children from being sold, trafficked, or pressured into a life of slavery through our prevention projects.The prevention projects and programs we support include: family support, food & medical support, education support which includes a school for migrant children, and also tuition & supplies for children in other schools, vocational training programs for teenagers & young adults, and other humanitarian projects.We continue to see orphans, refugees, displaced peoples, and children alike receive His love and hope into their hearts through: evangelistic outreaches, leadership training, seminars, men's & women's meetings, church ministry, children's ministries, and discipleship projects.Also in 2019, thirteen teams from US churches went to Thailand to work with the staff and children of Life Impact Thailand Foundation, and also to help with the prevention projects that we support.
Myanmar/Burma MinistryWe continue to care for 23 children in Yangon, Myanmar. We have a home for boys, and one for girls. These 23 children were displaced and orphaned from Cyclone Nargis in 2008. We also have the House of Hope in Myanmar, on the border of Thailand. In 2013, it began as a drop-in shelter for street kids, but it is now a rescue home for 10 children. For all the children in these homes, we provide housing, food, medical care, education costs, clothing, and hygiene supplies. In 2019, we continued our annual Christmas outreach in Myanmar during which we bring Christmas to hundreds of orphans, displaced villagers, men, women, and children living inside Myanmar, and living along the war zone border, the slums, the trash dump, and migrant villages in Thailand. Everywhere we go, we preach about the true meaning of Christmas and then we give the children a special toy. For these children, it is the first time they have ever received a gift. Each year, we continue to distribute humanitarian aid supplies to the displaced villagers and impoverished families - including food, blankets, toiletries and clothes.
