In existence for 23 years, Dhammajarinee Witthaya School (DWS) is the first and only free Buddhist boarding school for girls in Thailand.
For disadvantaged girls who have little opportunity, DWS provides, free of charge:
Without this opportunity, the problems of poverty, neglect, and abuse would only continue when these girls grow up and have children of their own. |
When You Give to Dhammajarinee Witthaya School
|
You change lives. Orphaned or disadvantaged Thai boys have always had the option to study at Buddhist monasteries, but Buddhist girls have not. (Why in small print and positioned?)
You prevent abuse. Poverty and lack of education have often led disadvantaged Thai girls to be lured into dangerous and degrading occupations. Education improves their future opportunities. You do more. Because the Thai government has pledged $217k in a matching grant, your contribution now is especially valuable. Our goal is to double the amount of classroom space at Dhammajarinee Witthaya School. (is this still accurate?) |

Orphaned or disadvantaged Thai boys have always had the option to study at Buddhist monasteries, but Thai girls have not. Poverty and lack of education have often led disadvantaged Thai girls to be lured into dangerous and degrading occupations.
Thanks to their generous donors, DWS is able to provide room, board, and education, free of charge, to girls who have no other opportunity for quality education. Without this opportunity, the problems of poverty, neglect, and abuse would only continue when these girls grow up and have children of their own. But DWS breaks this cycle and opens the door to a brighter future for these girls, their families, and their communities.
In addition to instruction in mathematics, social studies, English, etc., the students' daily routine also includes meditation and prayer, and they receive instruction in occupational skills such as organic gardening, food service, accounting and more.
In spite of their disadvantaged and often troubled backgrounds, DWS students consistently win awards in such varied areas as science, traditional chanting and even Photoshop! Former DWS students have gone on to study at university and to open small businesses.
The school's reputation has spread, and today DWS does not have enough room for all the girls who wish to attend. Expansion plans include a new classroom building and dormitory. Your contribution to the building fund can help DWS expand to serve twice as many girls.

About ThaiSchool.orgThaiSchool.org is dedicated to supporting the girls of Dhammajarinee Witthaya School (DWS) in Thailand.
DWS is Thailand's only free Buddhist boarding school for girls and is operating at capacity and facing the unhappy prospect of turning away disadvantaged girls who have nowhere else to go. Without an education, these girls are often compelled to help their families by working in factories where they may be targeted by brothel agents or fall victim to depression or abuse. In order for DWS to serve more girls, the school is expanding and the Thai government has given $217k for the classroom building. Originally $217k in matching funds was needed to use this grant, and DWS has raised $97k so far. With your help, we can raise the last $120k, which will enable DWS to double their classroom space! (is this updated? What have we fundraised so far and what do we still need?) |
