Scholarships

This year, for the first time, we are proud to award eight orphans and impoverished children with Little Siam scholarships.

Suksa-Songkro School is a group of three residential / orphanage / schools covering north, central and southern areas of Thailand. As previously mentioned, children here are either orphans or from impoverished backgrounds. To qualify for a place at Suksa-Songkro School the children must have no financial means to pay for mainstream schools. The school offers the national curriculum and additional life skills to prepare them with basic skills for work. Unfortunately, for the academically bright ones who have the ability to study at college or university but are unable to as they cannot afford the academic fees, it sometimes means that these bright kids will end up working on a rice farm or in a factory.

Our motto is “Relieving poverty through education”. So 2008 is a historical date for Little Siam Trust in realising our ambition by awarding eight bright children our first scholarships.
