The Thai construction sector employs approximately 600,000 migrants out of which 40% are women. BDF and UNICEF’s evidence-based study (2018) states around 60,000 children live with parents in construction site camps with slum-like conditions. These children and their parents face critical challenges in accessing essential services such as education, healthcare and child protection.

To address this challenge, BDF supports children and their parent’s immediate needs (access to healthcare, education, and child protection services), empowers their communities through a peer-to-peer approach (training for youth, adults, and women) and creates systemic change in the Thai construction sector (advocacy).

BDF is the only organization in Thailand that has partnered with 40+ construction companies, developing a niche expertise in child safeguarding in the sector. Through its longstanding partnerships with construction companies and the public sector (schools, medical centers, and Ministries of Health and Education to name a few), BDF aims to deliver a scalable and sustainable response to improve the well-being of tens of thousands of marginalized children across the nation.
