Child’s Dream Association is a charity organisation dedicated to unconditional help for underprivileged children in the 'Mekong Sub-Region'. Our office in Chiang Mai / Thailand serves as a base to select local humanitarian projects providing relief to street children, AIDS orphans and, in general, to children exposed to extreme poverty.
Over the past 3 years, Child’s Dream has been supporting more than 30 different projects in the Mekong Sub-Region. Our projects range from nursery schools to primary and secondary schools up to high schools and junior colleges. We always knew that the educational cycle for the roughly 6’000 children in our projects was incomplete until we could offer scholarships to highly capable youths and allow them to continue their studies up to BA - or even MA - degrees. Highly educated youths will be future leaders, will promote tolerance and diversity and will contribute to a peaceful life in the communities.
It is our goal to significantly extend the program in the years to come by selecting more students for the subsequent academic years. The overall budget for the academic year (2006/2007) is approximately THB 1,710,000 (approx. USD 44,000).
Students interested in our scholarship program can download more information here.
At the moment Child’s Dream runs a very small scholarship program. For the academic year 2006/2007 we support 9 Burmese students who will get a full scholarship for the next 4 years. This is currently only a pilot program for us but if proven successful, we will consider supporting a new group of students for the academic
year 2007/2008 and thereafter.
If you are interested in being considered for the future expansion of the program, then please apply for a scholarship through SGPB (Supplementary Grant Program – Burma). Besides running their own scholarship program, they support us logistically by collecting and pre-screening applications for us. You can get all relevant information and download their application form through the following link:

By submitting the completed form, you automatically apply for a scholarship with both organizations: SGPB and Child's Dream.
Please note that the application procedure will be open from January – March 2007.
