New curtains living rooms
The curtains in the living rooms are pretty worn, some of them so torn that they don’t even cover the windows completely. This does not feel good or safe especially because here it already gets dark between 18:00 and 19:00 when the girls are walking around the house in their pajamas after their shower. Therefore, […]
Kitchenware
Although kitchenware is not one of our basic needs we do need it to be able to prepare our meals. The kitchenware in all three family houses and in the independent living project urgently needs replacement. Due to cooking three times a day it wears out considerably. Many pots, pans, woks, chopping boards, knives, crockery […]
Mopeds
Mopeds, or rather ‘motorbikes’ as they go a bit faster than 40 km/hr, are a practical means of transport for the older girls who use them to go to school or sport on their own. They are also useful for the staff when they have to take a girl to the doctor’s or in other […]
Kitchen cabinets
In the girls’ home the kitchen cabinets that we use for crockery and more are now about 17 years old. And if they are used many times by twelve residents every day then it’s only natural for them to wear out. They have been repaired many times but at some point that no longer works […]
Storage cupboards
In every family house we have storage cupboards for spare blankets, pillows and sheets for the girls as well as for personal items such as clothes and towels for the ‘mothers’. Just like the girls’ wardrobes these four veneered cupboards are almost falling apart and we would like to replace them. We need $ 3.300 […]
Front doors
Doors in your house are for entering or leaving your home, but they also protect you from weather influences and they are useful when you are out or want to sleep. When these doors fail to function, they really need to be replaced. Two family houses have aluminium sliding doors which we thought were unbreakable […]
Mower
Our three family houses, the building for independent living, the multipurpose building and other structures are located on two different areas. On those areas we also have many fields, trees and plants and so there is lots of maintenance needed. Especially during the wet season, which lasts for six months, the grass literally shoots up […]
Renovation independent living units
We have three houses with an adjoining communal living room and kitchen for those girls who are learning to live independently. Unfortunately, these buildings are increasingly falling into disrepair and an extensive renovation is necessary. The ceilings are coming down and the paint is peeling; screen doors are falling apart; the kitchen is in disrepair; […]
Rice cookers
In Thailand it is quite common to eat rice three times a day, literally, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This means cooking rice several times a day every day. The rice cookers are working overtime and occasionally they break down. Sometimes they can be fixed in a cheap and simple way, but sometimes replacement is […]
Television stands
Each house has a television cabinet in the living room. Unfortunately, the wooden, veneer furniture is in a bad state due to old age and the influence of the weather (humidity, heat, and drought). They are real eyesores, hard to clean and some are almost falling apart, and so we would like to replace them. […]
