The “Our Students” Education Sponsorship Program at Seven Fountains seeks to remove financial barriers from students in the mountain villages of Northern Thailand which hold back children from receiving an education. The Primary, Secondary, and University aged children and youth that our sponsorship program assists, most of whom are from minority ethnic backgrounds, struggle to pay for essentials school items not subsidized by the government. Items such as their school uniform, art and craft supplies, fuel and transportation back and forth to school, and boarding house fees for those whose village is too far away for daily travel to school can be too much for a family to pay for. Without assistance, these families will often opt-out of sending their child to school.

For the 2022-3 academic year which is starting in just a few weeks, we have 834 students identified as needing assistance. Our budget for meeting their need is 2,843,000 baht.
