TIME TO LEARN

The migrant children diploma center opened in 2013 as the first school for children of Burmese migrant workers in the community known as “little Burma” located an hour outside Bangkok in Mahachai, Thailand.

Thousands of children accompany their parents who are among the estimated 200,000 Burmese migrant workers in Mahachai.

The school is supported through donations from private companies, religious organizations, and migrant workers who contribute 60 Thai baht (USD 1.68) a month to pay the salaries of the seven teachers.

More than 200 students attend this elementary school based in a Buddhist temple. For many of them, it is their first experience with formal education.
