Community driven
At the Thai Child Development Foundation (TCDF), we take immense pride in our community-driven healthcare initiatives that provide essential support to underprivileged children. Our healthcare initiative is built on three crucial pillars: Access to medical and specialist care, community outreach work, and nutrition.
Strengthening Families, Supporting Children
Our commitment goes beyond the individual child; we understand the crucial role of the family in a child's health journey. We partner with parents, family and caregivers to create a nurturing and healing environment. This approach ensures that not only the child but the entire family is equipped with the knowledge and resources to manage health challenges.

Nourish a Child, Grow a Future
Food For Futures is a nutrition program designed to give children in rural villages in Thailand, consistent, high-quality meals and support families in providing them. Hunger affects more than just a child’s appetite – it impacts their ability to learn, grow, and thrive.
For many children, a school day begins with an empty stomach. Some can’t join their classmates for lunch simply because their families can’t afford it, while others need special dietary foods that their families simply can’t access or afford. Hunger not only affects a child’s energy and focus, but also their confidence and ability to learn. For parents of infants, the challenge can be just as difficult – not being able to afford formula when breastfeeding isn’t possible.
The Food For Futures program helps ensure that every child receives the nutrition they need to learn, grown, and reach their full potential .
How it works
Donating
How it works
Donating
Every donation made through the Food For Futures donorbox goes towards:
- School Meals: children who cannot afford the 50 THB per meal are provided coverage so they can eat and focus in class.
- Infant Milk Support: Babies who cannot be breastfed will receive milk or formula for proper growth and development.
- Special Dietary Needs: Children with disabilities, illnesses, or allergies receive tailored nutrition if out of reach for the parents.
- Vegetable Farming & Training: Keep our vegetable farm growing – a space where students with special needs learn to grow their own food and develop life skills for independence. The produce from the farm supports our farm-to-fork restaurant, where every meal served helps fund futures for children.
