About Baht Babies...
Baht Babies was founded in September 2017 by Hana, a passionate teacher from Louisville, Kentucky, who lived in this region for five years and understands the importance of these children to the future of Karen State.
‘Baht’ is the currency used in Thailand and Burma's border regions. Investment in these children is essential for the survival of the Karen people, who are in danger of ethnic cleansing by the Burmese government. At the same time, the ongoing civil war, conflicts, and hardships continue to rattle these areas.

Accomplishments...Baht Babies has built 2 schools in Burma. We also cover school supplies and teachers' salaries. In addition, we continue to support children and mothers in IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) Camps, hold clean water workshops, and supply water filters to mothers and students in need. We work to take in supplies, clothes, food, and medicine to support families, villages, and schools across Karen State, Burma, and along the border in Thailand. Our newest mission is to provide student sponsorships for students in Karen State to attend college, secondary schools, and courses in Thailand.

Current Projects...Current projects include building and constructing two new schools inside Karen State, Burma. An elementary school in Klay Klee and middle school in Hsar Dae Lo village. We continue to fundraise for new Sawyer water filters, teachers' salaries, and rice. We are collecting donations for new school supplies, sports equipment, and clothes for children on the border who have had to flee from conflict zones. We are also in the beginning stages of constructing our new Baht Babies office on the border in Thailand. We are very blessed as we continue to walk by faith to make it all possible!

How to help...If you are not financially able to donate funds or supplies, please know there is still plenty you can do! Spreading awareness to those unaware of the situation here is critical. Please contact us if you have questions or concerns about anything happening on the border. Although we do not claim to be experts on the political situation, we try our best to stay on top of current events and keeping our students safe. 1 in 6 children globally are living in conflict zones; ask how you can help!
