About us

The Rain Tree Foundation is a non government, social grass-root organization registered under the Ministry of Social Interior with focus towards rural and underdeveloped communities in Thailand. Our aim is to give people the power to improve their lives through education and self-help projects.
The organization was founded in 1992 under the name Thai Care e.V. In 2009, the name changed to Rain Tree Foundation in Thailand but continued as Thai Care e.V. in Germany. The two organizations are still closely linked and support a variety of different projects. Our office in Thailand is responsible for the administration and project coordination while Thai Care e. V. focuses on fundraising, public relations and placement of foster children.

Vision
