UPLift--Poverty Alleviation For The Ultra-Poor

UPLift is a program designed to empower communities on the Thai/Burmese border that lack food security, opportunities for income, and education. Through the use of small grants and skills trainings, these families receive the opportunity to pull themselves out of poverty without having to rely on external aid indefinitely.

Moonlight School Opening

Blood Foundation's newest evening school in Fang is located at a Shan village temple.

Our friends in Chiang Mai, Blood Foundation, recently opened a new "Moonlight School" in Fang district.  These evening schools give Shan migrant children and adults a free opportunity to learn Thai with the local government cirriculum, thus increasing their chances of obtaining legal work status within the area. 

Check out some pictures from the opening ceremony in January!
