AWC Community Projects Committee
Community social welfare support has been at the heart of AWC for decades. A committee of dedicated volunteers reviews and recommends donations by AWC to Thai charities all over the country.
OUR MISSION
AWC's primary targets are underprivileged women and children, and we are committed to supporting social welfare projects in Thailand as follows:
- Community self-help, income-generating projects: Funds, supplies, or equipment for projects benefiting a community or group.
- Medical: Funds or supplies for hospitals, clinics, schools, or orphanages.
- Nutritional: Funds or supplies for nutritional programs.
- Education: Funds for books, supplies, scholarships, playground equipment, or teachers' salaries.
