On the hillsides of the Mae Win community, Karen people have lived for generations. This hill tribe people is distinct from mainstream Thai society. Typically married young within arranged marriages, Karen women can have several children before they are 20 years old. As the principle income earners, men often do not complete school and rely on trades and manual labour. The strict pandemic measures have left many unemployed. Alcoholism has spiked and so has the rate of domestic violence. The church in Mae Win is respected as a sacred space and so has become a safe place for women and children escaping domestic violence. The need has grown so large that we are partnering with @ccp_thailand and the Mae Win church to build the Mae Win Refuge House. We need $15,035 to make this a reality - cost breakdown in the following posts.

To make the Mae Win Refuge Home a reality, we are asking for the cost of materials but not the cost of labour. Why? Because the whole community has pledged to do the work.

Located in Thailand’s hill tribe area, electricity is a precious resource to the community in Mae Win. It will be modest, but electricity for lights and safety will be powerful.

The support of community is vital and so the home will have a shared kitchen where the families can be together. In so many ways, the table is the heart of a home and we want that for the Mae Win Refuge House.

With bedrooms large enough to house a mom and her kids, the Mae Win Refuge House will have 3 bedrooms.
