IV-Thailand (Foundation of International Volunteers in Thailand) is a local Thai NGO in Bangkok dedicated to supporting underprivileged youth and empowering communities through rural and slum development. Since May 2025, we have operated as the official Thai office of Terra Renaissance, a Japanese NPO specialising in peacebuilding.
We are thrilled to announce that IV-Thailand has officially been selected to run a booth at the upcoming 53rd Japanese Association of Thailand (JAT) Charity Bazaar!
[Event Details]
Established in 1972, the Japanese Association in Thailand (JAT) Charity Bazaar was founded with the spirit of giving back to local Thai society. All net proceeds from the event are donated through the JAT Charity Fund to support welfare facilities, orphanages, centers for people with disabilities, and scholarship programs across Thailand. It is a vibrant annual event bringing together corporate sponsors, local organizations, and charities selling unique social-impact products and donated goods.
On September 20th and 21st, we participated in this wonderful event for the very first time as IV-Thailand. The two-day bazaar welcomed over 6,000 visitors with around 30 participating organizations. At our booth, we proudly sold handcrafted goods from Burundi and Laos, as well as traditional Japanese Sashiko embroidery.
Our success was made possible by two months of dedicated preparation and strong teamwork—complementing each other's strengths and seamlessly communicating across Japanese, Chinese, and Thai. We were also joined by 14 amazing volunteers from Roong Aroon School, Tomeikan, and the community.
Last year we
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the immense support we received last year. All funds raised during and after the bazaar were fully dedicated to driving our project activities forward.
Join us this year!
We look forward to your continued support and cannot wait to welcome you to our booth this year! Why not take this opportunity to contribute to society together with us? If you are curious or interested in IV-Thailand's activities, we would love to chat with you.
See you at ICONSIAM!
We believe in breaking the cycle of poverty and giving marginalized children "the power to build the future". Due to severe drug issues in Thailand, many children face economic hardship when their parents are incarcerated. We provide vital scholarships to these children, ensuring they retain access to education. This support aims to prevent involvement in crime and empower them to forge their own paths.
We are dedicated to nurturing "peacemakers" who possess a deep empathy for social issues and the ability to take action. Utilizing Project-Based Learning (PBL), we facilitate international youth exchange programs. For example, we connect students from Taiwan and Japan to collaboratively address global challenges, fostering cross-border dialogue, mutual understanding, and respect for diverse values.
In our commitment to supporting vulnerable border communities, IV-Thailand, in partnership with Terra Renaissance, has initiated a vital medical support project at the Mae La refugee camp along the Thai-Myanmar border. Starting in April 2026, we have dispatched a dedicated medical professional, Dr. Gon Seng Oo, to provide life-saving care in a highly resource-limited environment.
The camp's hospital serves as a lifeline for residents, offering comprehensive medical services despite significant equipment and supply constraints. Services include: Pediatric and general outpatient care. Treatment for heart conditions, blood pressure issues, and fevers/malaria. Dental care and psychological support. Maternal, infant, and child health checkups. In just one month (June 2026), the medical team handled 5,594 outpatient consultations and admitted 330 patients.
The medical team operates without advanced technology, such as automated blood testing machines or automated IV drip regulators.
Today, wait times have been significantly reduced, allowing for careful, individualized examinations and the ability to handle nighttime emergencies. By utilizing available local resources and fostering mutual cooperation, this project continues to protect lives and deliver essential healthcare to families living in severe conditions.
Whether you choose to give once or support us monthly, your contribution directly transforms communities and creates lasting change.

Working as an intern at IV-Thailand was a valuable opportunity to take the initiative in fields I had no prior experience in, such as public relations and event management. My main responsibilities included managing social media, translation, creating and managing events, and researching grants. I thought practically about how to convey the organization’s mission and increase interest and engagement, and went through a process of trial and error, such as producing Reel videos.
I’ve been interested in international cooperation since high school, so being able to apply the knowledge of international development I gained in college to practical public relations work was a significant experience. While I came to realize the challenges of fundraising, I found it deeply rewarding to see how interest in social issues grew through the events we organized.
It was also highly meaningful to accompany staff to the front lines, places students rarely have access to, such as meetings with partner organizations and project site visits. I was inspired by the staff’s passionate approach to providing support, which further solidified my decision to build a career in this field.
I really recommend this internship not only to those interested in international cooperation and social contribution but also to anyone who wants to develop practical communication skills and the ability to drive projects forward.
