Sponsoring a student is often the first step in preventing child exploitation, but it’s usually not enough on it’s own. The Freedom Story's holistic prevention program, The Freedom Story, helps provide children with the knowledge, skills, and support structure they need to make good choices and achieve success on their own.

Unfortunately, without access to additional resources, most Thai children’s rural grade school education will leave them unprepared for life. Few grade school students in northern Thailand graduate with a working grasp of the English language. Many remain computer illiterate. They know what they want to be when they grow up, but they have no idea how to get there.

The Freedom Story's Resource Centers are the hubs of The Freedom Project (Watana Seree). Each center is strategically located, with the first being situated right in the middle of the village where most of our students live and the second in the city next to the High Schools and Universities for higher education. Each Resource Center offers daily after-school programs, tutoring, weekly English classes, special workshops, Human Trafficking Awareness programs, and more.

With time, financial support, and encouragement, we’re seeing these children avoid exploitation and pursue their dreams.
