Since 2013, the Good Shepherd Phuket Town School has been a beacon of hope for a growing number of students, providing access to quality education. In 2023 they have a record enrolment of 400 students but not enough classrooms to accommodate everyone. Our exisiting classrooms are already overcrowded, hot, and lacking sufficient oxygen, the building is in urgent need of renovations to ensure a safe and conducive learning environment for our students. By extending our existing classrooms, we can accommodate a growing number of students and create this conducive learning environment.
1.245 million THB will fund this project which is forecasted to take 3 months to complete and provide ample space for children to learn, collaborate, and excel. Your support will invest in the future of these vulnerable children and will enable us to create an environment where they can learn, grow, and realize their potential. Together, we can build a brighter future, one brick at a time.
