Child Center Project
Background
The project has been implemented for 2 years to support child development among migrant children, which aims to instill moral principles
and integrate Thai culture in order to ensure that they live in harmony within the Thai community. By introducing basic knowledge in language
skills and life skills, children are able to obtain quality of life that children develop skills to communicate with their parents for better
understanding towards local community. Remarkably, they have strength to make change within the community and establish good relation with
the local people that translate in friendly social milieu in implemented area. Activities were organized to provide basic knowledge in language
along with creational activities to equip them with moral principle and righteous practices. Since, the family foundation should be strengthened to
contribute to better social environment in harmony. With health programme implemented in the area, some children have potential to become
translators assisting patients at the hospital during diagnose process including making appointment for them to collect drugs. Besides, the health
programmes requires a messenger to mobilize community that children can be a strong force to bridge the gap in case detection, once they learned
about symptoms with basic knowledge of health such as TB and HIV. As a result, they can be a contributing factor to the succeed of the
programme, since most of the children are capable of communicating in both languages with basic knowledge in health, the sustainability of child
center can translate in holistic approach to ensure that health programme can be operated after the phase out to overcome language barriers
between government health officers and migrant patient with assistance from children as well as increasing case detection after knowledge
dissemination introduced at school.

4.1 Justification
Due to influx of migrants in Thailand, the movement of migrant was driven by economic needs of cheap labour to work in fishery sector,
which created inviting environment for migrant labour to serve the demand in fishery sector. Thailand becomes one of the countries that attractmigrants with geographic components that allow migrants to mobilize combined with high demand of migrants in other sectors as well as fishery
sectors that Thai people find undesirable. Thus, the number of migrants has vastly increased throughout the county particularly adjacent countries
cross border between Thailand and Myanmar, they always accompanied with family members to settle in Thailand. Initiatively, World Vision
Chumporn was planned to conduct a survey to collect data of migrant children in the area to implement Polio Vaccine for them as indicated below
Data collected in August 2007

According to the number of child migrants, basic rights have been denied, they have not got access to education that can be contributed to
community, thus World Vision Chumpron has launched programme for two sites to establish child center to serve child development to provideknowledge for target groups. This will result in sustainable development of the community with number of children living in the area to be
equipped with knowledge, which can make a change in the community and strengthening relation among community members. As a consequence,
the programme was initiated to improve quality of lives among migrant children.
Geographic and climate components
8/4/2019 Child Center Project
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/child-center-project 5/16
Delta lied between these two areas connected to the sea surrounded by river with the rise of current, the area always flooded. All years round, the
weather is tropical located on Thai Gulf side with high percentage of rain pattern in the area
Natural Resources
The river flow runs pass both sites that became a part of community with multiple utilizations such as dock, food resource, commercial
route, and shelter for ships during monsoon.
Occupation
Within 2 municipals, the area consists of Thai and migrants around 20,000 working mainly in fishery sector including business and commerce.
Baseline situation
Migrant children regarded as marginalized population subjected from rights to education that leads to lack of understanding in terms of
culture and social background within the community. This also hinders harmony environment enabling them to integrate with local people. During
the day time, migrant children need to spend their time productively to prevent petty fight causing disturbance in the community concerning child
safety on the street. Being marginalized from mainstream welfare, the system could not serve basic needs of children in terms of health care and
nutrition meals including hygiene. With the concern raise of well being among community members in relation to health, the programme aims to
solve the issues in collaboration with health community network and migrant health volunteers along with Thai community to work closely with
government agencies and other stakeholders to establish child center for migrant children to provide implement education and nursery
programmes. This will translate in sustainable community for utmost benefit in t he long run contributing to community driven by strong family
foundation.

Additional programme proposal (II phase)
Within the past 2 years, the programme has developed language skills for migrant children and managed to transferred children to attend
government school in the area for higher education. From time to time, migrant children participate in community activities that create better
8/4/2019 Child Center Project

understanding and harmonizing the community enabled migrant to integrate with local Thai people. Besides, Thai government started to introduce
rights to education and healthcare for registered migrants, however, this requires cost of registration and knowledge dissemination on migrant
rights in the area. Some of their parents have not been registered, which disabled their children rights to birth certificate or registration. Once,
children registered under the age of 18 years old; they would not be able to obtain jobs due to legal regulation. Thus, they would not get access toschooling and healthcare especially those who the parents are not aware of importance of education and prefer their children to work in order to
support the family ( Mahidol University, 2011). Although, the recent site visit shown that the conditions of child center has not got capacity to
support greater numbers of children due to lack of space in comparison to number of children in the area. Within one blog of building, the highest
capacity on the first floor can not support more than 15 children, while the upper floor capacity only allowed 12 children to participate in language
class despite the number of migrant children that exceeded 400. The young ones occupy the ground floor without proper tools and equipment to
participate in development activities with sleeping hours provided 3 rows were set for bedding leaving little space for those to squeeze in each one.
Even though, the number of children has dropped in the past year, since the school can no longer provided lunch for children, most of
parents have to distribute their money to send their children to the center. With a new policy introduce, the government has planned to set up a
8/4/2019 Child Center Project
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/child-center-project 10/16
separate body of department to be in charge of fishery sector that can translated in stricter regulation on migrants (MOL, 2011). As a result, the
programme becomes unaffordable among migrant parents, they have to provide their kids with meal cost as well as learning material cost.
Therefore, the parents decided to withdraw them from the center and locked them up in the house unaccompanied during their work hours and
return in late evening, which raise the question of child safety leaving young kids on their own can cause severe stress and accidents that results inlife threatened. For instance, one of the children faced brain damage after his dad left him at home on his own, he got electrocuted from sticking
his finger into a power socket. With the lack of awareness, children become more vulnerable at home differently from the first finding that they
normally roaming around on the street unaccompanied. Stressing the importance of proper nursery provided in the area, the well being of children
should be highest priority to ensure their safety and rights to education and healthcare.
