Sian first visited Sarnelli House in 2010 after hearing about it from a close friend. She immediately fell in love with the place which houses a total of 150 children and provides a safe environment for the kids to live where they benefit from good nutrition, education and HIV medication. 

Since 2010 Sian has visited a total of six times and Kevin went with her for the first time earlier this year. Sian sponsors a little boy called Matthew who arrived at the orphanage as a baby in 2011 along with his mother who was just 12 years old at the time. She had been repeatedly raped by a man in her village as she walked to school each day. Matthew and his mum both still live at Sarnelli House and continue to thrive. The kids at Sarnelli come from backgrounds unimaginable to most of us; many have lost parents to AIDS and been left with nobody to care for them. Sadly in these situations with nobody to protect them, rape and abuse aren't uncommon. Sarnelli House offers them a place of safety where they can not only be fed and educated but also loved and supported. 

Sarnelli House has no public funding and all the work it does is entirely dependant on private donations. Thailand is considerably cheaper than the the UK so small amounts of money can go a long way for the kids at Sarnelli. Giving through the UK-based charity Thai Children's Trust allows us to claim Gift Aid on your donation, increasing its value by 25%. Any donations you make will be very gratefully received and we guarantee will be put to excellent use.
