The focus of the project is the village of Baan Phai Du, Chiang Mai province, Northern Thailand. The project is targeting a community that is heavily impoverished and currently lacking even the most rudimentary education facilities, resources and teachers. The project is small in that it deals with a single village only, but one very much in need of educational support.

The Kid Launch program was commenced in cooperation with Genesis during the summer of 2008 in response to the widespread educational hurdle faced by thousands of children every year in one of the world’s poorest regions.  It is an effort to bring support where other programs have not yet reached or, in many cases, have thus far failed.

An innovative approach to the education hurtles faced by women in children in the impoverished regions of Ghana, West Africa.  Through the provision of educational materials, the centre strives to supplement the local grassroots efforts at giving every person an opportunity to receive an education. 

In an area where average income per day remains well below a one dollar, empowering all people to reach their fullest potential through education is the key to both social and economic development.

The GENESIS Network recently completed the Kid Launch schoolhouse construction project for 200 impoverished children at risk of trafficking slave labor in Chiang Mai, Thailand.  This is the second school we have completed in this region.  The first was built for 65 children in the district of Mae Cheam.  A third school is now planned for 100 children in the continuing Kid Launch effort.  You can help. 

The future of a child without education in Thailand is impoverished and subject to prostitution, slave labor and human trafficking.  Kid Launch is a Thailand-based program under the umbrella of Genesis providing community education and outreach in support of children that may not otherwise have access to schooling.
