About Us...
 The
Garden of Eden was a sanctuary for God's children. Eden House - Chiang
Rai, is also based on the same idea.
Created in
1997, Eden House is a non-profit Christian based home, situated
30 mile s from the Burmese border. Eden House is dedicated to extracting
young girls from extreme "at risk" situations. Most of the girls
are Ahka, which is a hill tribe group in the north of Thailand.
This group is considered to be of the lowest "caste" by many of
the people in Thailand.
At this time we have 25 girls aged 5-16 years.
Our
Purpose...
Eden House's heart and passion is to care for the girls that God
has given us. Our first priority is to "extract" young girls from
extreme "at risk" situations. Hill tribe girls are sometimes sold
by a parent or village member into prostitution or slave labour
to help support their drug and/or alcohol addictions. AIDS is taking
its toll on villagers, creating more orphans every year - some with
the virus themselves. Girls in situations like these can't fight
for themselves and are offered little chance of hope or escape.
Many
of the girls that come to Eden House experience real love for the
first time in our family oriented environment. Food, clothing, love,
emotional support and education (through to college) are supplied
for the girls. Through this, they are shown how to value themselves
as they really are and not just "saleable" items. Eden House provides
a good home for the girls who would otherwise have none.
The
Future...
 In
July 2000, Eden House was able to purchase 2.8 acres of land just
outside of Chiang Rai. Construction of the first house ane second
house are now complete. We have recently begun work on our third
home as well. The plan is to build several homes that will each
house about 15 girls and a staff member. After each home is finished,
a Thai or hill tribe family will become the "parents" of the girls
in that house. Each household will strive to become a family living
in a community of similar "families".
Eden House
plans to build 6 or 7 buildings on their plot of land, providing
housing for over 100 girls, plus staff and families. Without funds,
the project is unable to succeed. Will you partner with us to
help build a safe haven for the girls who need it most. By helping
support the Eden House project, you are helping, perhaps even
saving many girls from situations they could never escape from
otherwise.
