Thailand is one of the world's biggest producers of rice but thousands of people still live in poverty and struggle to feed their children. This project will provide enough nutritious food to feed 1,200 hungry children, living in children's homes for orphans and children with HIV, for a full year.

Situation
Thailand is feeling the effects of a drought, the worst the country has seen in 15 years. This has had a direct impact on the country's agriculture. We support children's homes for orphans and children with HIV that are struggling to provide enough food for their children. Some homes have working farms but the drought has ruined their crop production, meaning they have to buy food instead. The homes are faced with inflated rice and vegetable prices as the market reacts to limited produce.
Solution
This project will help children's homes to buy additional food needed to feed all the children the house. The homes need supplementary items such as rice, fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, salt, oil and herbs to ensure they can continue giving the children in their care 3 full and nutritious meals a day.
