Non-profit organization, Human Defense Initiative (HDI), initiates it's pilot project, Kid Launch, in Thailand this month!
We are excited to begin this journey as we work to preserve the rights, freedom and future of our children. However, we are in urgent need of donor support as well as searching for partners and sponsors (corporate and private) for potential project collaborations in the future.
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 HDI providing community education and outreach in support of children that would not otherwise have access to schooling.
The recipients of our services have sought out our help and are selected based on a variety of criteria. Every attempt is made to ensure the long-term sustainability through local empowerment and leadership development.
The Kid Launch program was commenced 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.
Kid Launch's ultimate success lies with the collective efforts and generosity of the people. To see the construction of the first school through to completion along with the elements necessary to its function, we need your help in raising $22,600.
It is no longer enough to think about change nor is it enough to talk about it. It is time to shift gears, combining movement with intelligent action.
When enough people join together with a common goal, passionately driven, absolutely anything can be achieved.
We live in a time and place where people are restless "to do something"...to be part of something greater than themselves.
This is your opportunity.
