GoAbroad

Based in Phuket Island, this placement supports youth education in low-income and refugee communities. Volunteers work alongside local educators to nurture students’ development through English literacy, performing arts, digital skills, and leadership—focusing on capacity building and long-term empowerment. Target Community: The program works with underserved children and youth (ages 3–17) from Burmese refugee communities in Phuket who face barriers to quality education. Despite their potential and motivation, limited resources restrict their opportunities and future prospects. The Challenge: Due to financial and legal barriers, refugees often lack access to quality education in Thailand. The issue is not a lack of motivation, but limited resources and opportunity. Even so, students and teachers remain resilient, and building confidence and hope for a better future remains essential. Our Partnership: ReCoding Thailand collaborates with local and international partners to expand education and opportunity. By developing practical and soft skills, the program supports pathways to employment, empowerment, and long-term community growth, while fostering hope for future generations.
