History
Siam-Care emerged through a series of alarming reports from the Thai government circa 1990. A drastic increase in HIV/AIDS swarmed Thailand - affecting its children, women, and families en masse. Reasons for the disease’s continued spread have shifted over the years, and although we focus on the poor and uneducated, every social class is at risk.
Bangkok has long lured desperate migrant workers from Thailand’s northeastern countryside. The lack of work available forces men to leave behind families and the simple, close-knit communities they know and understand. It doesn’t take long for the fast-paced, lonely, and aggressive city life to overwhelm the majority of workers. Life in the overcrowded slums often leads to dangerous behavior that often harms entire families.
Siam-Care established its base in Bangkok during 1991, and has since expanded its locations and outreach to those living with HIV/AIDS and poverty stricken families.
