COERR Volunteers Support Students’ Scholarship

   COERR Volunteer Groups Project has started since August 12, 2000. Since then, number of groups has expanded.In 2018, a new program has started to promote livelihood and income generation to support children’s education.

   COERR volunteers in 5 Dioceses: Nakhon Sawan, Chieng Mai, Ubon Ratchthani, Udon Thani, and Tharae, selected poor but persevering children who are in need of scholarship to enable them to continue their study, while implement kitchen gardening activity or animal raising, e.g. fish, frogs, chicken, pigs, etc., to generate income.

   These activities are aimed to have the children help their families in implementing the livelihood activities. The knowledge and skills acquired will enable them to continue the activities to earn for their living in the future, while income generated from the activities will enable them to support their education. They also have nutrient food at home without spending money. In addition, they can share the surplus products with others or sell them for income.There are currently 68 volunteer groups and there are 279 children benefiting from this program.
