Child Sponsorship

Borderless Friendship WA runs a successful sponsor program for more than 380 hill tribe children in BFF’s care. The children are anything from 3 years old, through to young adults at university - all are either orphaned, abandoned or underprivileged children in northern Thailand.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, these children have food and essentials guaranteed each month. It is so exciting to have young people going to technical school and university now – the leaders of the future! By sponsoring a child you will be supporting the next generation of young people to reach their full potential.

You will receive annual updates, photos and communication with your child. The program is 100% volunteer-run. We do NOT deduct any handling fees or administration costs. You can be confident that all your funds reach the children in need.  

Annual sponsorship of $480 a year (or $40 per month) provides basic essentials so the children can continue at school. Sponsorship for students at technical college or university student is $60 per month and sponsorship is the only way they are able to attend.

Please email Lorel at info-wa@borderlessfriendship.org for a list and photos of children currently requiring sponsors.

University and Vocational Sponsorship

Sponsorship is rewarding especially if you sponsor a student keen to go beyond high school - please help..

Tertiary Students

Many of our young hill tribe people are now going on to further study after secondary school. 70+ young people are forging new pathways for hill tribe people - these students may be the first hill tribe people in their village to go to university or vocational college. Usually they would travel back to their villages, after limited schooling, to work and grow food. The young people can only go on to tertiary studies with our assistance. Higher education will be then enable the hill tribe young people to provide so much more for their communities.

The university and vocational students are only able to attend because of scholarships and sponsorship. You can assist - we have 6 young people at vocational college who need a sponsor ($60 per month). We also require funds for BFWA educational scholarships ($1000 per year for a uni student and $500 per year for vocational college) either for the whole amount or any part thereof. It will make a massive difference. EVERY CENT goes directly to the tertiary student.

BFWA is also involved with community health, teaching English and sexuality and relationship education.
