4Life exists to bring life and lasting change to disabled children in Thailand. We work with our partner charity Christian Care Foundation for Children with Disabilities (CCD) in Thailand to transform the lives of over 600 disabled children, many of whom are abandoned and stigmatised because of their disabilities. Our key objectives are: 1. To provide financial aid for the disabled and abandoned children in South East Asia by raising funds for CCD. 2. To raise awareness for the plight of disabled children in Thailand and to educate the general public in the UK about disability in Thailand, and disability rights. 3. To screen and train volunteers to go to work with the children in Thailand.
The CCD projects currently supported by 4 Life include: • A purpose-built residential accommodation offering a home to over 40 children and much-needed respite support to many more families. • Innovative day-care programmes accessed by hundreds of children living in state institutions. • Vocational training programmes and independent living opportunities for young people with disabilities. • An award winning community rehabilitation service providing practical support and guidance to many families in the rural parts of Thailand and helping to remove the stigma associated with disability through their community education programmes. Through our volunteer ambassador programme which tours schools and churches in Europe our organisation raises awareness of the plight of the forgotten children in Thailand
