Our Past...
In 1992 our Chairman, Somboon
Suprasert—or Auntie Boon, as many have
come to know her—was working on
HIV/AIDS research in Thailand. Her
internationally-esteemed research led her
to the many children that were orphaned
by the HIV pandemic and left to be cared
for by their grandmothers. Her heart went
out to the children left behind as well as the
tired grandmothers who devote all of their
energy to raising their grandchildren. It
was this impact that brought her to create
the Grandma Cares Partnership.

About Us
| Present... Currently, Grandma Cares is sponsoring more than 70 families, but upwards of 2,500 families still need assistance. This is why we need your help. The cost of providing annual care for a child in need is only $400 a year for children under 15 years of age, and $600 a year for children 15 and older. |
| This is Bok, one of the Grandma Cares children. He now receives the resources he needs in order to attain a strong education, life skills, and eat regular, healthy meals. |
What's in Our Future...
As we gather new partners to help our initiative,
we aim to grow in the number of participants in
our program, as well as expand the impact it has
on the surrounding area, and throughout all of
Northern Thailand.

We hope to develop a fresh, and unique fund raising technique that currently involves selling
products made by the Padaeng Village Women's Weaving Group. The funds received from
these sales will support both the children of Grandma Cares and the village of Padaeng. This
will be the beginning of our line of Grandma Cares Products. If you would like to know more
about the Padaeng group, please visit http://padaengvillage.org/.
