Since the beginning, we have had countless requests to support children, who urgently need treatment to live. In most cases, the child's family cannot afford a required life-saving operation. Unlike Thai citizens, migrant workers (many of whom are considered illegal) and their children cannot benefit from the Thai health-care system, which treats citizens at almost no cost.
Hence, we decided to set up this fund to financially support children with special medical needs to access the necessary treatment. We have partnered with Burma Children Medical Fund (BCMF) which works out of the Mae Tao Clinic in Mae Sot and other health-care referral sources, to organise treatment and surgery for migrant and refugee children with medical needs from Myanmar.
