Siam-Care Foundation began as the British organization ‘Christian Outreach’ which was founded to care for those who were infected by HIV/AIDS and their families. The initial work focused on home based family care for the infected and affected family members including relatives and communities, supporting them to care for the sick and for the orphans, widows and others left behind by demised relatives as a result of HIV/AIDS. In 1996 ‘Christian Outreach’ was handed over to Thai nationals and continued under the name ‘Siam-Care’.
Siam-Care is a member of the Convention on the Rights of the Child Coalition for Thailand
