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 763 border children and over 350 families in 9 communities in conflict-affected areas on the Thai-Myanmar border.
Find out more?In Koung Jor Shan Refugee Camp the leadership set up English classes to increase the opportunities for the children in the community once they are able to leave the camp. A small stipend for the teachers secures the continuity of this important programme.
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.

Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of catching up with Mol, our scholarship student since 2017. She's embarking on her second year of a bachelor's degree in General Science with a passionate dream of becoming a science teacher. However, there was one obstacle standing in her way: she didn't have her own laptop to aid her studies.
We managed to secure a second-hand laptop from Mazars Thailand Ltd., generously donated through Ian Bushell in his capacity as the director of the Lanna Needy Network.
Thank you to Ian Bushell and Mazars in Thailand for your ongoing support!

Meet Saing Sreika, a 16-year-old scholarship student in Cambodia who is currently in grade 12 at Puok high school. She would like to share about women's rights and express her gratitude to the sponsors.
"We should respect women as the mothers of the world, as they hold tremendous power in society across all countries. We strive for equality between women and men, which means they have the same opportunities as men in terms of employment and providing for their families.
Women have been engaged in a centuries-old struggle to achieve equal participation in society alongside men. Nowadays, women are fully active in society and enjoy equal rights, including freedom, equality, and justice. They have the right to participate in all activities and the right to stand for election or vote."
I would like to express my deep gratitude to the donor for your kindness in sponsoring my studies up until today. I would like to wish you and your family good health, strength forever, abundant prosperity, and success in your business endeavors. I am determined to give my best effort in studying, achieve excellent results at school, and become a valuable human resource for society.
A big thank you to Anthony Mann Mann (Tony) who sponsors Saing Sreika and many other students in memory of his beloved wife Nancy.

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.
