Chiang Kham Scholarships
Thailand
Mission:
To provide scholarships so poor children can attend a Christian school that is highly regarded in the community and has a proven academic track record.
Chiang Kham Christian School (CKCS) is one of the very few Christian schools in Thailand. As the country is almost 95% Buddhist, other schooling options are saturated in Buddhism. Each year, ALO promises to fund 30 scholarships to enable students to attend a school with a strong academic and Christian curriculum. Roughly one-third of the children given scholarships are orphans from Romyen Children’s Home, another third are children of pastors and church planters, and the rest are children from low-income families in the community.
Target for 2025: $13,620
Breakdown: 30 scholarships at $454 each
Additional Details: Most Thai schools are built on temple property, and Buddhism is woven into the curriculum. Chiang Kham Christian School offers an alternative to such indoctrination.
Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life.
— Proverbs 4:13 NIV
