Eden House
A ministry of Project L.I.F.E.
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.
