Personal developmentContext
An estimated 60,000 children and young people in Chiang Mai live in temporary camps with their parents, who have come to the area to work on local construction sites. The children face challenging circumstances, such as poor living conditions, lack of social integration and difficulties in accessing public healthcare, education and protection services. This greatly reduces their chances of integrating into and developing in wider society, depriving them of the chance to break the cycle of poverty and realise their full potential in life.
Project goals
- Increase children’s access to sport
- Encourage active engagement in physical activities
- Support children’s holistic development and overall well-being
- Foster social inclusion and integration into the Thai education system and wider society
- Strengthen children’s sense of belonging
- Promote gender equality
Project content
The project provides migrant children and young people living in construction site camps with equal opportunities to participate in sports sessions and competitions, including ensuring that they have the necessary sports equipment. It encourages and supports girls to participate equally in all sports activities, and also empowers young people by training them to become peer educators and positive role models within their communities.
