Baan Chan "My Home"

A Project L.I.F.E. Ministry

"Baan Chan" (My Home) is a children’s home in Khon Kaen province committed to giving abandoned, healthy Thai children, aged 4 and up a home which will really be like their own home, caring for them with love and kindness til adulthood.

Baan Chan (My Home) began in July 2005 and is the newest program in the Project L.I.F.E. Foundation family. Our goal is to accept up to 20 children who will be cared for by our 5 full time staff. In the near future we hope to add additional volunteers to our team as well. In the coming year, we will strive to build a firm foundation in the areas of administration and child development.

The Story of “Baan Chan”

In Northeastern Thailand, just as in all of Thailand, there are many children who have been abandoned. Kokos Foundation, situated 14 kilometeres from Khon Kaen, ended up being unable to care for 13 children aged 2 – 16 years of aged, who were abandoned there.

When the Project L.I.F.E. Foundation became aware of this situation, they were invited to come in to take over the program over the course of 9 months.

And so, began “Baan Chan”.

Our heart is to take in more abandoned children in the future. Our desire is that each of our children will grow up feeling they are a part of a real family, living in a home that is truly “their” home. We will care for them spiritually, emotionally, and physically just as a real family would so that they are able to become responsible, caring individuals who will be an example and benefit to Thai society.

“Baan Chan” willl accept Thai children, especially those born in the “Isaan” (Northeast Thailand), teaching and training them through God’s Word. “My Home” is located in Baan Non Somboon, Amphur Nong Kham, not far from the city of Khon Kaen.
