Baan Dada children's home and community services is a project of the Neohumanist Foundation. It started as a boys’ home in Huay Ma Lai village, Sangklaburi, Kanchanaburi province in 1994, in an effort to protect the growing number of disadvantaged children in the area. Sangklaburi borders Burma (Myanmar) where many refugees and migrant families moved to this area due to poverty, disease, and political repression by the Burmese military Government.

Dada is responsible for the development of the children, the home and many community based projects in this area. Dada is a Sanskrit word meaning elder brother. What started as a boy's home is now home to more than 50 children, 15 of which are girls who first arrived in 2005.

The main objective is to empower the children through education, formal and non-formal. They are encouraged and taught many skills, from playing musical instruments, fixing motorbikes, art, languages and technical skills. This is based on the Neo Humanist's philosophy "love for all created beings in this world". The children are taught to respect all people, creatures, religion and to practice vegetarianism.

The home also provides jobs for single Mothers, refugees and local families who help care for the children, assist with farming, construction and weaving projects. Baan Dada is an independent community based project that supports the people in the surrounding areas. It has initiated several community services, and livelihood projects.

The home is working towards self sufficiency. This is one of the long term goals we wish to acheive. But we welcome support from volunteers and donors. Assistance can be of skills, materials or financial help to lead towards this end while continuing to support the local community towards the same.
