Description

Step Ahead stands with poor and at-risk families across Thailand- from Bangkok’s largest slum to Southern and Northeastern small rural villages. Delivering new economic opportunities and keeping families together through Integrated Community Development means being with at-risk families to help them discover their own best solutions through: Community Economic Development, Alternative Orphan Care, Child Development Centers, Mentoring, and Training.

Step Ahead's Keeping Families Together (KFT) program partners with Orphans Promise to see orphans and vulnerable children become part of a loving sustainable family, empowered and strengthened through their community. KFT mobilizes grass roots organizations and the community to support families through holistic development trainings, income generation assistance, educational opportunities, psychosocial support, health care, and spiritual transformation. At a fraction of the cost of supporting a child in an orphanage, Step Ahead is able to support at-risk families.
