Find, help, and empower people in need
Home
Our Projects
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.
Our Work
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.
How to get Involved
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.

Happy Thai Fathers' Day to all the amazing fathers who work so hard to provide for their families. We appreciate you!
This is Sai Vijit. Once a student at the Koung Jor Shan Refugee Camp, he was given scholarship support from PCF to further his education. After completing his degree, he returned to the camp to share what he had learned with the next generation. He's a true father figure to his students and we thank Sai Vijit for his dedication to his community and his students!

As a result of the current political situation in Myanmar, many thousands of people are fleeing their homes, with some finding shelter in temporary Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps.
One of these camps holds about 3.000 IDPs, of which 187 are children of school age. We already support a school there, but recently the number of people has increased as the camp has become known as a safer place.
Due to this increase, poor hygienic conditions, the rainy season and the lack of a health centre and medicines, the people in the camp are facing health problems. Five camp residents have already died from treatable diseases, one of which was one of our students.
EUR 1.430 was requested by our local partner for the most urgent of basic medicines and these were quickly paid for and delivered.
Many thanks to Jonny Berman for his funding of this life saving project.

𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦 🏫🪑🗺
During two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hsa Too Lei School at the border in Mae Sot had closed down. This school has 1.100 students - children of Burmese migrant workers, children fleeing conflict zones, children from refugee camps and orphans – and has no access to public funds.
This year they reopened but almost all their school furniture was damaged or broken. One of our long term partners, Friends Without Borders Foundation asked us for help, and luckily another one of our partners, the School of Global Studies, Thammasat University stepped in and donated 20 tables and 40 chairs.
Then, after Sallo’s presentation about our work at the Varee Chiangmai International School (VCIS), its students decided to organise a Flea Market and raised 3.302 THB for 3 educational globes for the school.
We are very grateful for SGS and the students of VCIS for their kindness in helping these 1.100 underserved students.

Words from Our Supporters
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.
, Journalist and TV PersonalityI 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.
, Actress and TV PersonalityI 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.
, Writer and TV PersonalityWith 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.
, Comedian and TV personalityCompletely 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.
, Comedian and TV PersonalityAs 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.
