Why help us help?

Your help- invested time or money, little or a lot– can help long after it was given. But only if your investment is made in a sustainable way and through a trustworthy partner on the ground like TCDF.

  • TCDF has been changing the lives of hundreds of children in a sustainable way for almost 20 years: it works!

  • Donations are used for the children in our programs and not used for overhead costs such as offices in the city or food and board of international volunteers.

  • TCDF runs a organic farm & visitor center & fair trade shop to increase our local sustainability in both food and finance and empower our youth.

  • In compliance to our child safety policy only our long term team members work directly with the children 

  • TCDF does not accept discrimination. We welcome people of all nationalities, religion, sexes and ages.

  • Finances are detailed, checked by our 4 person eyes daily admin system and fully open to the public. Checked by and independent accountant agency in both Thailand and the Netherlands.

Friends of TCDF- smaller but steady- monthly donations

Friends of TCDF are people that support TCDF with a financial donation on a long term, monthly base. With this is support – support we can really count on no matter what- our outreach workers can ensure the most urgent medical and educational support for the children in need depending on the situation at hand. Without having to apply for funds, wait for answers and attend meetings first….  Friends of TCDF are people who trust that TCDF truly changes lives of children.  Friends are a very important part of the TCDF community and steady supporters our children in need can count on!

Special Program Joint-Ventures- choose a program close to your heart! Creating win win partnerships.

If you have a personal special interest such as education, food, yoga, music, sport, the environment or girls empowerment…. there is a good chance TCDF runs a program for that at our academy! TCDF supports all children in need that fall outside of the local, existing healthcare and education programs and that means that the support for our kids is divers, customized and different for every child and all programs are focusses on sustainability. Feel free to reach out and tell us where your interest lies, and what you would like to achieve. That way we can suggest you the fitting program to partner that best alligns with your aim! For example:

Our Sponsors come from all over the world but have one thing in common: they expand their impact by sponsoring sustainably!

UNSECO: There are four dimensions to sustainable development – society, environment, culture and economy – which are intertwined, not separate. Sustainability is a paradigm for thinking about the future in which environmental, societal and economic considerations are balanced in the pursuit of an improved quality of life. For example, a prosperous society relies on a healthy environment to provide food and resources, safe drinking water and clean air for its citizens.  
One might ask, what is the difference between sustainable development and sustainability? Sustainability is often thought of as a long-term goal (i.e. a more sustainable world), while sustainable development refers to the many processes and pathways to achieve it (e.g. sustainable agriculture and forestry, sustainable production and consumption, good government, research and technology transfer, education and training, etc.). 
To date, Education for Sustainable Development has been integrated into many global frameworks and conventions related to key areas of sustainable development. At TCDF we warmly invite all companies with awareness, big or small to partner with TCDF and support charity in a sustainable way just like UNESCO centrum Nederland!
