The Giving Trust

VIENGPING CHILDREN’S HOME (Baan Vieng Ping) Viengping, in Chiang Mai, Thailand, is a very special place for very special children.

Established in 1986 as a baby care unit, it falls under the auspices of the Thai Department of Social Development and Welfare. In 1988 the home was extended to care for all orphaned children in the Northern Region of Thailand before being streamlined in 1997 to care for babies and children up to six years old and for girls from the age of seven until eighteen years. Boys aged over six years old can relocate to the ‘Home For Boys’ which is right next door but under separate management.

Vieng Ping Children’s Home also cares for those children who are HIV Positive from birth and for those children orphaned as a result of the deaths of AIDS infected parents. Vieng Ping was the first such orphanage in the country to take in HIV affected children.
