Standard FreeSchools We offer a quality 5-year primary education that includes reading, writing, arithmetic, health/hygiene and civics. After 5 years, parents are urged to send their children to government schools to continue education. Sadly, for many parents the cost of uniforms, transportation and books are beyond their reach. We provide modest scholarships for children of promise. Women's Empowerment Centres/Tailoring Centres This two year program concentrates on girls age 12-16 years and young mothers. In addition to basic literacy the students also learn embroidery and sewing skills using manual and treadle sewing machines. It is our goal to open tailoring centres in 50% of our FreeSchools in India. Thai Language FreeSchools Hill Tribes have their own language and culture and the children don’t speak Thai. We offer two years instruction in Thai language skills and mathematics to equip hill tribe children to be successful in a government school.
