- Project L.I.F.E.
Beer BarsOne Person Is One Too Many

Tamar Center was opened in August 1999. Our vision is to work with local churches to show the love and compassion of Jesus by bringing help and healing to the estimated 20,000 girls and women in Pattaya involved in prostitution.

Once a year we run a three month training course for girls who decide to leave prostitution. In this course the girls are trained in hairdressing and baking. At the same time they receive Bible teaching and counseling. They are being prepared to return to Thai society in a way that reaffirms their dignity and self- worth.

Making CardsThroughout the rest of the year, the Tamar Center offers the girls jobs in our card making program or hairdressing salon. Recently, we opened a Bakery and a Nursery for the children of the women working with. In addition to that we have weekly outreaches to the bars to make contacts and invite the girls to English class, which we offer three times a week.

Statistics estimate that the number of prostitutes working in Thailand range from 300,000 to 2.8 million (since it is officially illegal it is hard to get exact numbers). The Tamar Center is helping to make a difference! No matter what the exact figure is, one person is one person too many.

Fast Facts about Pattaya

Pattaya city stretches for about 15 km along the Gulf of Thailand, 150 km south of Bangkok. Though its registered population is only 70,000 people, Pattaya has as many as 2 million tourist visitors each year. Originally a small fishing village of only a hundred families, the Vietnam war brought discovery by the western world and Pattaya soon became the official "R & R" center for American armed forces. Shops services, bars and hotels grew to meet the demand. The tourism boom followed and nowadays, Pattaya is a thriving resort destination.
