Find, help, and empower people in need
The Foundation for Applied Linguistics (FAL) offers a specifically designed language programme targeted to improve the language skills of ethnic children. They work with schools in remote villages in northern Thailand where minority children face huge difficulties due to the language gap between their local language and the Thai language used at school.

Find out more?During Phase 3 of the Covid-19 pandemic, migrant workers in three districts (Fang, Mae Ai, and Chai Prakan) were unable to provide enough food for their families. PCF and our implementing partner the Fortune Community Health Group (FCHG) have identified 1000 families in 32 areas in these districts that need the most help.
Find out more?By strengthening the capacity of Karen teachers in eight targeted schools, this project helps to support the well-being and quality of life for 617 border children and over 350 families in 9 communities in conflict-affected areas on the Thai-Myanmar border.

Find out more?For Ban Pha Lai village community this resulted in all of the children failing their school year so Kru Oil, a former teacher at the community school and project co-ordinator, set up evening classes on her own but quickly found herself swamped by the number of students joining. 19.000 THB (500 Eur) paid for the stipend for 3 teachers for 3,5 months to teach 3 grades of 48 children EVERY NIGHT for 2 hours. Not letting this generation fall futher behind is a huge impact for very little money.
Find out more?Projects are the foundation of Philanthropy Connections. We take a two-step approach to our project involvement. First, we seek out community-driven initiatives started by local people to benefit their communities and improve their quality of life. Second, we connect these projects with sponsors willing to fund these activities.
Philanthropy Connections was founded to find and help people in need. It is the common thread in all we do. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we work to positively change the lives of the less fortunate. Those who we assist, find strength in the fact that people like you, our sponsors, help them to build a better future.
You can either become a sponsor, or a donor. Sponsors choose to financially underwrite an entire project, and donors choose to contribute to help sustain our operations, as well as help fund our projects as needed. Sponsors and donors can be individuals, families, organisations, or businesses.

At the end of last year, we were delighted to connect SIG Group Combibloc with one of the remote underserved village projects we support.
SIG wanted to visit a project to deliver much needed items, in this case additional food supplies and toiletries to the 60 households in Ban Pha Lai village. Many of the households earn less than 1.000 baht per month (approx 30 EUR), and some have even less.
It is our hope to build on this connection in the near future to generate long term benefits to the village.

We were deeply saddened to hear about the recent death of Rob Waardenburg, a recent but staunch supporter of our work.
Sallo was fortunate to have met him several times in the past, mainly at NTCC - Netherlands-Thai Chamber of Commerce events in Chiang Mai. However, it was not until late 2021, after seeing and hearing more about our work on social media, that he was prompted to get in touch and offer his support.
Since then he has been a generous supporter of our work including several scholarships, emergency aid to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and food support to remote villages during the COVID lockdown.
Rob's legacy lives on through his travel company, Rowaco Asia Travel, as he ensured his ongoing support via the company. ... See MoreSee Less
Pls I need your help
𝗔𝗧𝗝: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘀! ❤️💚
Last week we posted that the year’s support for one of our projects by Asia Transpacific Journeys - ATJ recently ended. But it didn’t!
We were wonderfully surprised to find that ATJ want to continue their support for another year. And even happier when they more than have doubled their support to fund 2 projects; Ban Nai Soi Community Learning Centre (BNSCLC) and 4 preschools in Cambodia.
BNSCLC provides courses in community development and leadership and teaching skills for migrant youth who want to give back to their communities.
PCF supports 6 preschool classes in five remote rural villages with a total of 130 children aged 3 to 5 years old. 4 of these classes will be supported by ATJ this year.
Thank you for your continued trust.

Actually, I never really related to development work, because I don’t like big, complex organisations. That’s the beauty of Philanthropy Connections: you know exactly what your money is used for.
Read more from Catherine here.
I have seen a lot of development work where question marks can be placed with the usefulness and effectiveness, but Sallo and his organisation I trust unconditionally. He lives a simple life, close to the source and his support stems from respect, not from pity. That’s how it should be.
I support Philanthropy Connections because it is Sallo’s project. He knows to move mountains with few resources and has the talent to bring people together; a unique combination to efficiently and effectively match means with needs.
With my family I visited several projects with Philanthropy Connections in 2011 and I was instantly convinced. It is so evident that this is right! What they do really works.
Completely selfless and at very meagre wage, Sallo helps hundreds, if not thousands of youngsters to a better existence. At a modest, but on an ever growing scale, straightforward and with integrity. That deserves support.
As precise and dedicated Sallo used to be as a floor manager, that’s exactly how he is here. Wonderful work and keeps at it until the job’s done. That’s what I love.
