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.

What’s Been Happening
𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟱 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Ever since we were introduced to the then Dutch Ambassador to Thailand, Karel Hartogh, we've been lucky enough to have the attention and support of each Ambassador.
From the constant and committed support of Karel Hartogh; Kees Pieter Rade highlighting our work by helping carrying bags of rice up a dirt road to one of our projects; to being one of only 3 organisations in Chiang Mai to be introduced to the new Ambassador, H.E. Remco van Wijngaarden last month, we have benefited greatly from this connection.
And so, in celebration, here's a collage of the highlights of those 5 years.
Congratulations

Between 2006 and 2009, Sallo was working on a scholarship programme for Burmese students, coaching them during their studies. One of the students was Sai Won Latt, who now works for a Swiss NGO.
It was great to hear from him and to receive a 100 USD donation for our work. We would like to thank him for his wonderful contribution for a next generation.

THANK YOU MESSAGE FROM PCF
Two Stenden University volunteers, Mijke Peeters and Nienke Pundt , have been working with us for some months now, building a campaign to support our partner's Mother Tongue Based-MultiLingual Education programme (MTB-MLE).
They wanted to thank all those who contributed and came up with this wonderful video!
The MTB-MLE programme works with ethnic children who grow up facing the challenges of living in remote regions and speaking only their mother tongue. Thanks to this project the students develop essential language skills at an early age, so they have greater opportunities in the future. Without it, under-served children may never break out of the cycle of poverty.
You can see more about the programme here >>> philanthropyconnections.org/project/multi-lingual-education-programme
Wat een mooie woorden van de dame op het eind.

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.
