Safe Classrooms for Migrant Children

Building Renovation & Expansion Project
Maw Goon Thit Migrant Learning Center – Mae Sot, Thailand

Who We Are

Maw Goon Thit Migrant Learning Center is a community-based school run by volunteer teachers since 2022, providing free education to migrant and displaced Myanmar children affected by conflict.

  • 140 students currently enrolled
  • Expanding to 150 students
  • From primary to upper secondary (including GED preparation)
  • Relocated 6 times in 4 years, but learning has never stopped
We now urgently need safe and stable classrooms.

The Problem

Our current learning spaces are:

  • Overcrowded
  • Structurally weak
  • Not safe during rain and heat

Without renovation and new classrooms, students cannot learn effectively.

The Solution

We will:

  • 🏫 Renovate the existing building → create 3 classrooms + 1 office
  • 🏗️ Build new classrooms → total 12 safe classrooms
  • 💡 Install lighting, fans, ventilation, and drainage

This will provide a safe learning environment for 150 migrant children.

Project Timeline

  • March – Renovation & site preparation
  • April – Classroom construction & electrical installation
  • May – Students move into safe classrooms

Budget Summary

Total Project Cost: 300,000 THB
  • Renovation Phase → 54,000 THB
  • New Classrooms → 246,000 THB

A detailed budget and financial reporting system are available.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Supporters can fund specific parts of the project:

Every contribution directly builds safe learning space.

Transparency & Reporting

We are committed to full accountability:

  • Photo updates at every stage
  • Mid-project financial report
  • Final narrative and financial report
  • Before & after classroom photos
  • Student impact documentation

All funds will be used only for this project.

Expected Impact

12 safe classrooms Reduced overcrowding Better learning conditions Organized classes by grade level Stable education for 150 migrant children

A safe classroom means hope, protection, and a future.

Our Story

Image
Our Story Maw Goon Thit Migrant Learning Center Maw Goon Thit Migrant Learning Center began in 2021 with a simple but powerful belief — every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of background or circumstance. In Mae Sot, on the Thai-Myanmar border, many migrant children from Burma face significant barriers to formal schooling. Some are unable to enroll in public schools due to documentation or status issues. Others must help their families by working. Language barriers, financial hardship, and displacement add to the challenges. Witnessing this daily reality, we knew we had to act. What began as a modest community learning space has grown steadily into a dedicated learning center. Today, we proudly serve students from Kindergarten all the way to Grade 12. This expansion is more than just about numbers—it represents growing hope, wider opportunities, and a clearer vision for the future of these children. Our mission from day one ...

The Friend’s Story Project – Week 2 ✏️

Image
The Friend’s Story Project – Week 2 ✏️ This week, our students learned how to write a story and how to review their photos. We used a projector to display their friendship photos and discussed the story behind each picture together. By looking at the photos, students thought about: 👉 What is happening? 👉 Who is in the photo? 👉 How does it show friendship? They then started writing simple stories in English based on their own photos. This activity helps develop: 📸 Creativity 🧠 Critical thinking 🤝 Teamwork 🗣️ Confidence During this one-month project, students will create their own Friendship Photo Stories and present them at the final exhibition. 🙏 Special thanks to Mr. Watanabe for generously supporting us with iPhones. We are also seeking support for student transportation and weekend meals to make this project possible. #TheFriendsStory #PhotoStoryProject #MawGoonThit #ProjectBasedLearning ...
