"In Thailand, trafficking is a Bt500 billion annual business, which is 50%-60% of the government's annual budget and more lucrative than the drug trade." - The Nation -An Allowance of Dream: A traveling photography exhibition inside the world of Thailand's sex trade.
about the Thailand project
Higher Education as Humanitarian Aid
Higher Education as Humanitarian Aid is one of three programs unique to The Thailand Project, a partnership between the University WisconsinStevens of Point (UWSP) and the Development Education Program for Daughters and Community (DEPDC) in Mae Sai, Thailand. It aims to provide a college education at UWSP to graduates from DEPDC who have dedicated their lives to the fight against human trafficking - an industry that accounts for 25% of Thailand's national economy.
What is DEPDC?
DEPDC is a rescue school that provides a home and enables an education (K-12) for children and teens who have been rescued from human trafficking or are most at risk in being sold into the sex trade. Many of these individuals do not hold birth certificates and are not recognized by any country as citizens. DEPDC was founded by Sompop Jantraka, twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, for his work at combating child sex slavery in Thailand.
Why is this important?
No U.S. university has ever ed admission to individuals out citizenship from any try. UWSP would be the grantwithcounfirst.
The Higher Education as Humanitarian Aid project could be used as a template for other universities to do the same. The money you donate goes 100% to the project - the student you help sponsor will be at UWSP fall 2007 -All donations are 501(c)3 tax-deductible
