A Better Chance for the Youth
of South East Asia
A Place For Children - The Heinrich Vahrenkamp Foundation - operates in the
poor areas of the South East Asian Countries, mainly Myanmar, Laos and Thailand.
Its purpose is to provide the children of the underprivileged classes with the
opportunity to achieve a better future in their changing world.
Our Aims
Awareness and knowledge, the essential roots of a fulfilled life in a sustainable
environment, are naturally lacking in a world where the fight for survival fills the
day. Yet their roots, curiosity and affection, must be implanted in the young mind
as early as possible, lest they have no chance to flourish. For this reason we are
active in the field of education, particularly of young children, but also of talented
youths and their parents. Read more .....
Our Approach
We focus our work on the early stages of education, i.e. making the parents
aware of family hygiene and family planning and helping to take the infants off
the street and into the assuring environment of day-care centers. In addition we
offer talented youths support for attending highschool or college. Local religious
or charitable organizations are involved in the planning, implementation and
auditing of our programs. Read more .....
Our Background
Each of us with responsiblilities for the Foundation comes from a position in
academic teaching, human medicine or charitable work. We operate on a
completely voluntary basis. Most of the funds of the foundation come from our own
pockets. Read more .....
