Medical Fund
BFWA runs a Medical Fund to provide for a variety of medical needs, including emergency treatment, vaccinations, health and dental check-ups.
When possible, we arrange a team of medical practitioners to travel to northern Thailand to provide much needed medical attention such as vaccinations, general health check-ups, dentistry, and urgent health procedures. Many children won’t have ever owned a toothbrush, never mind getting their teeth checked. Some may have had untreated medical issues for their entire life.
For the BFWA Medical Fund to continue to provide these essential health procedures, donations are valued. You’ll see our Medical BFWA account to donate to here.
Case Study: Safe drinking water and sanitation
BFWA joined with the Rotary Club of Mill Point, Perth. This water filtration system now provides safe drinking water to this remote Karen village - 200+ people in this village have benefited. We also provided safe water containers and mosquito nets - the risk of dengue fever and malaria is minimised.
