Wildflower Home
Wildflower Home is situated in the vicinity of the beautiful hills of Doi Saket, close to Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand.
Wildflower Home is a temporary home for unemployed single mothers with very young children and a shelter for unmarried pregnant young women prior to and subsequent to the birth of their child. Women who come to Wildflower Home have no consistent means of support but do have a desire to make life-affecting changes.
Mission
‘Wildflower Home accepts single women in desperate situations and moves them toward self sufficiency. The women learn their own value and develop self confidence. They are taught to see their situations in new ways, encouraged to solve their own problems, and strengthened to shape their own destinies. The women are taught to properly care for and support their children in such a way that will have a long term effect on their futures.’
Objectives
• To provide safe shelter, health care, education and emotional support to women coming from difficult situations.
• To have each woman in a steady job or continuing education after leaving Wildflower Home.
• To be assured each child is in a healthy, loving environment after leaving Wildflower Home.
