Project Status: Ongoing Project

Starting mid-March, the girls have two months off due to the summer holidays here in Thailand. What will the girls do during that time? Some are able to go on a family visit and we always have a home camp for one or two weeks. They also have the opportunity to just do nothing or...

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...

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...

As you probably know we have three rooms for independent living with kitchen and living room on our premises. The two girls who are now living there love to watch tv after a day of school or traineeship. I guess most of you enjoy doing that as well. The tv they have now is one...

Repairing clothes, making a tablecloth or teaching the girls how to sew is something a number of our ‘mothers’ like to do and know how to do well. A while ago we were able to buy one new sewing machine which we are very happy with. However, we now need a second one as we...

The older girls who are learning to live independently have to do their own laundry of course. However, at the moment they have no washing machine and so they wash small items by hand and large things such as bed linen at the family homes. Small or big loads, it would be lovely for the...

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...

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...

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...

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;...
