2018 Expansion Snapshot: ZOE Thailand

We have seen many more people come to Christ—well over 1,000 people this year alone! We reached over 5,000 people through our human trafficking prevention programs. We partnered with law enforcement officers from the USA who provided tactical training for elite TICAC officers who conduct rescue and who ZOE serves alongside.

We are finding continued favor—ZOE received numerous awards from several Thai government agencies for our outstanding work in anti-human trafficking. We also became the first non-profit in Northern Thailand to be officially licensed as a Child Protection Center for human trafficking. We have also been able to partner with local pastors all around Thailand through our Mercy Network Ministry and empower them to reach their community.

​We rejoice that 135 children/youth survivors are flourishing and healing under our care. Many teens are healing and finding a new life in our new Child Rescue Center. We have received many requests to take more children into our center. But recently we could not accept any more children because we just don't have enough staff to care for them all. We are praying for more funding so we can hire more staff.

We are sponsoring two children who live long-term at the children's home in Thailand: Peen and Fone. We are so grateful to support them so that they can eat nourishing food, have fun, and learn about God.

This year we are pleased to sponsor two children who live long-term at the children's home in Thailand: Peen and Fone. Here's a brief introduction to them.

ZOE is a Christian organization that strives to reach every person with the love of God and rescue every child from human trafficking. They currently provide long-term care for 75 children in Thailand. Meet some of the children, and join us in supporting them.

ZOE International rescues and cares for orphans and trafficked children, primarily in Thailand. Our support is providing preventative healthcare (nutrition, medical, and dental care) for the 75 long-term children in their care.

In 2016, TFish support enabled ZOE children to receive essential preventative healthcare, including flu vaccines, vitamins, and de-worming medicine.

Vitamins: ​We provided one complete multi-vitamin per child per day for one year.

​The ZOE kitchen prepares over 450 meals per day for their children, staff, and volunteers. Over the years they have made great strides in improving the nutritional level for our children. Improvements include having fresh fruit at every dinner meal and a box of milk for each child with the morning meal. Although the amount of food is plentiful, they believe that there are certain minerals and vitamins missing from the children’s diet. For example, vitamin C and iron are lacking due to lower citrus and protein consumption. Having a full complement of necessary vitamins and minerals is essential during the critical developmental years of children and teens.

Program InformationWith generous support, ZOE began construction on three multipurpose buildings, which were completed in 2010. These buildings have dormitories for every age, vocational training centers, staff offices, and a kitchen with a dining room. ZOE continues to make improvements to the lives of the children they rescue from human trafficking and will build additional safe houses and housing as God provides. ​ Since 2010, ZOE has provided comprehensive aftercare for more than 115 rescued children in Thailand.
