  • 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.

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.

𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗘, 𝗪𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗛𝗢𝗣𝗘 𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗗 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗧 ☮️

September 21st is the UN's 'International Day of Peace,' a day dedicated to raising awareness about initiatives that promote peace.

Over the past three years, our donors have enabled us to increase our support for people in and near conflict areas as more of our partners in these regions grapple with ever-growing needs.

Situated within an IDP camp (a camp for Internally Displaced People), the Loi Sam Sip school is just one of the many places that people have fled to for safety. The school provides support to 38 children from various ethnic groups. With your assistance, we are able to provide food for the children, support the modest salaries of teachers, and cover basic educational necessities and operational costs.

𝟰𝟲 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗩𝗘 🏠🍚

The current conflicts in Myanmar have created severe problems for 46 young students. They had to flee their villages and needed a safe place to stay, a school to attend, and food to survive. These students, aged 11 to 18 years old, are now studying at Thoo Mwe Community High School, one of the nine schools supported by PCF in the area.

A new dormitory was needed due to the arrival of these students, and PCF supported the construction costs for this dormitory.
We have also been able to provide three meals a day since 2021.

We extend our gratitude to Anthony Mann (Tony) for financing the construction of the dormitory and to Joanne Nihom and Michiel Schrijver and two anonymous sponsors for their contributions towards meals for this year.

Supporting girls’ education through scholarships

What would you do if your parents asked you to drop out of school to help earn money to support your family? This is the choice faced by so many... and it is why we believe it is so important to help provide scholarships to students who would otherwise have to make this choice.
