Our Home offers a safe home and a loving family with full-time care for orphans and children at risk. We individually look at each child’s needs and focus on a good healthcare and education.

In addition to the health care in cooperation with the local hospitals – BAAN DOI provides organic food and many sport and free time activities to support the healthy development of the children.

Our staff and children live together as a big family, in which everybody has his/her role and responsibilities and a good sense of community is highly valued. We take care of each other and also care for the animals and the garden together.

The Outreach Child Support Program has been an important part of BAAN DOI’s work since the very beginning. The program runs complementary to our BAAN DOI home.

The focus of the program is, despite all the hardships the families are facing, to encourage them to care for their children by themselves and assist them to conquer the challenges of parenting and raising children.

Our support system is based on 4 pillars, with a special aim to create sustainable development.

1. Health

The families learn how to provide an environment that allows for the healthy development of their children.

2. Education

The families learn how to set and follow educational targets together with their children.

3. Legal Registration

The families gain knowledge about their rights and how they can claim them.

4. Income generating activities and trainings

the families have the chance to develop additional life skills for activities which will help them to save funds and earn additional income.

We started our organic farm in in 2018. In cooperation with the project BASEhabitat – architecture for change, University of Arts Linz, Austria (www.basehabitat.org) and our permaculture teacher Sandot Sukkaew (Sahainan Permaculture Farm, Nan, Northern Thailand, www.sahainan.com) we transformed a ricefield into an organic farm in order to supply our home with organic food.

We plant jasmine rice, vegetables and fruits and raise fish and ducks. For our children and youth the farm holds many free time as well as life skill training opportunities.

BAAN DOI FARM 2024 shows the work of the NGO BAAN DOI – Home and Healing Center in Northern Thailand. BAAN DOI’s main goal is to support children and families in need to have a better quality of life. The sustainable approach practiced at the organic farm, one of 3 BAAN DOI’s programs, especially the construction of a guesthouse in cooperation with BASEhabitat – architecture for change (University of Arts Linz) is described step by step.

For BAAN DOI networking with other NGOs and governmental institutions working in the same field is essential. Not only is there an exchange of new and proven methods, but of opportunities and possibilities. Governmental recognition and support are also being advanced.
