  • In this inspiring video, we invite you to witness a remarkable charitable program in Bangkok's slums that goes beyond providing immediate relief. Join us on a journey that embodies the adage of "teaching someone to fish so they can eat for life," as we delve into how iCare Thailand Foundation is transforming lives through the gift of street food carts.
    In these vibrant communities, poverty and limited opportunities have long been the norm. This Opportunity on Wheels program aims to break the cycle by offering residents the tools and support they need to become self-sufficient. By providing street food carts and essential supplies, the foundation empowers individuals to start their own businesses, creating sustainable income that not only feeds their families but also provides a newfound sense of purpose and pride that fosters long-term stability.
    Beyond the economic impact, we explore the broader benefits of this initiative. By enabling parents to provide for their children, these families gain access to opportunities that were once out of reach. Education becomes a priority as children can attend school, breaking the barriers that often perpetuate the cycle of poverty. With an alternative path to explore, they are shielded from the temptations of crime and drugs and protected from the dangers of human trafficking.

    It takes just $300 USD to fund a single food cart and the initial stock of supplies and ingredients.

    On a personal note, we spent 3 days filming in the slums. The people we met were so incredibly warm and kind. To see the children living in these conditions broke our hearts. And for those of you wondering, they are GREAT cooks too!
