I believe passionately that education is the key to a brighter future for our youngsters. By working with local rural schools Bright Dawn is enabling sustainable life long changes for individual children and in turn, their families and whole communities. Seeing the work of Bright Dawn at first hand is a privilege to observe and I am more than happy to do all I can to support the inspirational teachers
Bright Dawn Foundation
offering a hand up, not a hand out
We provide healthcare and educational support to primary school children in the Prachuabkirikhan area of Thailand
Our Mission
Bright Dawn Foundation, founded in 2010, is a registered Thai charity foundation with a clear mission: to enhance the lives of low-income Thai children by providing them with healthcare and educational support within their primary schools located in the Hua Hin area of Thailand.
Our programs have consistently yielded positive outcomes and are designed to be highly cost-efficient, ensuring that over 93% of donations directly benefit the children and their teachers.
At Bright Dawn, we firmly believe in offering a hand up rather than a handout to these children. By empowering them with the necessary support and resources, we aim to inspire them to thrive and create a brighter future for themselves.
Our Programs
Healthcare
Ensuring that children are well nourished, healthy, and active is crucial for optimal learning outcomes.
Education
Equipping children with English language, technology, literacy, and vocational skills will significantly enhance their preparedness for future success.
Special Projects
Enhancing facilities in the schools and educational technology. These improvements aim to create a conducive learning environment for students.

Alistair Laband | Donor
Nothing gives us greater joy than looking into a happy, beaming child's face. But we also see the faces of girls and boys marked by poverty. To put a smile on the faces and in the hearts of such children through comprehensive care, and to help them become self-confident and independent, is the aim of the Bright Dawn Foundation. I’m happy therefore to support their valuable work for the impressive number of over 600 children.

The educational inequality between urban and rural Thailand has existed for a long time. However, Bright Dawn's support and assistance has bought new technology, capable teachers and innovative teaching methods allowing students to gain more knowledge and skills.
