Being a RIPper Hero in Thailand

In many places around the world it is difficult to make any difference in the lives of the indigenous population. But not in Thailand. It might come as a shock as you sit on your lounger overlooking turquoise seas or ride an elephant through verdant rain-forests, but 10 percent of Thailand’s population live below the poverty line. In many regions opportunities are limited and many families live meal to meal in a cycle of poverty that is hard to break. So as a foreigner living in Thailand it is very easy, even with a little money, to improve healthcare or education for disadvantaged children or help out families who have difficulties being self-sufficient.

Thailand recently announced that it will put into action a national social assistance program for poor families. For many poor families in Thailand, regular social assistance means their children being able to finish school or not going to bed hungry. We Farang can help even if it is on a very small scale. Evidence suggests that regular small cash transfers can help poor families to meet basic needs such as food, healthcare and education, and with most Thai people they continue to work just as hard.

Helping to buy needed commodities or giving small cash transfers aren’t mere handouts that encourage complacency. They have shown instead that a helping hand improves nutritional and educational outcomes, and the capacity of individuals and communities to cope with hardships.

Statistics show that the number of poor people is on the rise in Thailand, because the daily expenses of the poor, especially food prices, are increasing. But also their income is getting lower, especially the income of poor people in the agriculture sector. Children normally just have to go without.

But it really doesn’t take much to make a huge difference to the children’s lives. There are many different ways to help.
Organic Fertilizer – 400 Baht
Mosquito Net – 300 Baht
First Aid and Basic Medicine Kit – 300 Baht
Warm Clothes & Blanket – 500 Baht
Water Filter – 15,000 Baht
Water Tank (1,000 Litre) and Water Pump (150 watt) for school – 14,000 Baht

So as you can see, you can easily stay active and make a big difference in the lives of people in Thailand without breaking your RIPper budget! Remember, living is giving!
