Child Watch Phuket Thailand
Child Watch Phuket is a humanitarian non-profit organization dedicated to fighting against child abuse and exploitation in Thailand. Founded in 1998, the organization focuses on providing a safe haven and comprehensive support for vulnerable children, including victims of physical and sexual abuse, child laborers, and children at risk from the sex industry.
The mission of Child Watch Phuket is to systematically and professionally rescue and care for children in need, while also raising public awareness about children’s rights. The organization operates a 24-hour safe house program to provide emergency shelter for abused children. They also offer a range of essential services, including legal assistance, welfare support, and access to basic education through programs like the Mobile Teaching Program and a scholarship fund. Additionally, Child Watch Phuket runs a day-care center for the children of prisoners and those from slums and construction sites, ensuring these marginalized groups have a chance for a healthier and more secure life.
Through its various programs, Child Watch Phuket aims to empower children to escape exploitation, recover from trauma, and build a brighter future. The organization works to provide a nurturing environment where children can thrive and eventually reintegrate into society as healthy, independent individuals.
