Community
We are located in a Karen Hill tribe village 1 hour and 15 minutes from Chiang Mai. Our community is made up of different ethnic minorities and refugees fleeing war in Myanmar. Our project combats exploitation and trafficking by empowering at-risk girls and women. We provide a safe house and education and employment opportunities so that at risk youth can choose opportunity instead of oppression. Please read more at DaughtersRising.Org
Accommodation
Volunteers are provided with accommodation with local host families. By staying with a host family, you will experience the local culture, customs and way of living. Volunteers are hosted in private bedrooms with hot showers. Accommodations are simple but clean and comfortable. Some houses have a WiFi connection as well.
