Fund Change!

Changing the world begins with people like you wanting to make a difference

All ARK International programs, including the administrative office, are funded by donations. We are dependent on “Project Partners” to support the all important work we do to better the lives of children and youth.

“Project Partners” are individuals, businesses, organizations, churches, etc. that want to help Thailand and SE Asian’s disadvantaged youth.

ARK International is a not for profit organization and is a registered Thai Foundation (est. 2013) that operates under the Thai Ministry of Social Development and Human Security.

ARK International partners with Youth With A Mission International and this support raised goes towards our programs in order to enhance the lives of children and youth.
We very much appreciate the individuals, churches and companies that stand with us and support our projects. Without you, it would not be possible!

All donations should be accompanied with a clear statement of where the finances are to be directed towards. Please include date, amount, receipt number, and purpose of donation ie: Rock of Hope (Tutoring Center), Life Sponsorship (child sponsorship), Nak Suu, Soom Soom, Education (and educational scholarships), etc. This can be emailed to administation@arkintl.org.
