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.

Ban Pha Lai is a village in Chiang Dao District with a population of approximately 750 people from Akha, Lisu and Karen ethnic groups living in 150 households.
We've been supporting their preschool and when COVID hit, the school was closed, and the villagers could not go to work. They asked us to help their most vulnerable.
Intermittently for 18 months, we provided essential food supplies to villagers who were in need, such as people who are quarantined, elderly and sick people. In the most difficult time when the village was in full lockdown, we supported 50 families, around 250 people.
We supplemented their diet - relieving their meagre budgets and helping them to get the basic needs to survive.
Thanks to Help Helpen in Thailand and NTCC - Netherlands-Thai Chamber of Commerce for this support.

Hpaulu Brang Shawg is a 25 years-old student amongst 10 students that PCF supports at Wide Horizons' "leadership and professional education programme". This vital programme takes in aspiring youths from local civil society organisations around Thai-Myanmar border areas and gives them the skills to work more effectively to develop their own community.
"My dream is to be able to provide affordable health care services to the communities. After graduation, I will return to my host organisation to enable better public health, provide equitable medical services and strengthen health care capacity.
Most chronic disease patients (e.g.- HIV and TB patients) require long-term medication, but those patients have difficulty receiving the medicine. I want to do health care activities to support their nutritional needs and transportation costs so they can access medication regularly."
This is the impact that 𝟮𝟰𝟬 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘀 can have on opportunities for the next generation of changemakers.
A big thank you to the 3 sponsors who came forward for these 10 students: Tony Mann, an anonymous donor and Bert Cesar.

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.
