COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Community Involvement has always been the backbone of The Care Project Foundation. Over the years, we have operated on the mentality that
“You cannot affect change through shame.” This is why we believe that empowering the lives of people in communities that
are surrounded around domestic elephants is so so crucial.

The Care Project Foundation has been involved in community clean-up, infrastructure building and most importantly, Mahout education.

Community Involvement/ Donation

The Care Project spent an entire weekend in Mae Chaem to see how we would be able to further support the villages in the vicinity. Home to the first group of mahouts (400 years ago), Mae Chaem is known for its rich culture and beautiful Agriculture.

The Care Project team brought a truckload of snacks for the children, as well as mattress and blankets. A monetary donation was also made to the community to support infrastructure upgrades.

Practically our second home, Mae Wang is a beautiful balance of tourist activities and untouched beauty.
The work we do in Mae Wang is abundant. From mahout education to elephant health checks to financial supports in community infrastructures (roads, bridges etc)

This time, we pooled manpower and joined a community clean-up initiative to help keep the place clean and tidy.

Mae Sa Pok

Blanket Donation / Community Outreach

Our group of volunteers led the way as we went into the Mae Sa Pok district. Close to Mae Chaem in the North of Thailand, Mae Sa Pok is home to a beautiful Karen community.

With beautiful agriculture surrounding the vicinity, Mae Sa Pok was truly pleasing to the eye.

Our group of volunteers went in and spent an entire day in class with the children. A Blanket donation was also made in preparation for the cold winter months in the mountains.
