ALIGHT (formerly the American Refugee Committee) Thailand

For years, Thailand has been a haven for populations on the move, from the two million migrants who travel through the country to work to the thousands of refugees from Myanmar living in camps along the border. And Thailand has meant a lot to us over the years - it's where our story began 40 years ago. Now, as refugees return home to Myanmar, a chapter is closing on our working for these people - but a new one has just begun.

It is our job to prepare communities for this transition, helping to build the confidence needed to make a safe, peaceful, and successful move back home. From helping women heal from abuse and trauma, to vocational and skills building for budding entrepreneurs, to making sure people get the healthcare access they need, all our programs have an eye toward the next chapter in their lives.
