FXB International (www.fxb.org) announces the expansion of its Village Model Program in poverty-stricken Si Saket province of Thailand. The Village Model Program is a comprehensive response to the AIDS orphans crisis that enables families and communities to lift themselves out of poverty and better provide for vulnerable children.
Bangkok, Thailand (PRWEB) March 3, 2008 -- Albina du Boisrouvray, president of the humanitarian organization François-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) International, will announce the expansion of FXB's Village Model Program at the Foreign Correspondent's Club of Thailand tomorrow. FXB has been working in Thailand since 1990 to address and support orphans and vulnerable children affected by AIDS, and the Village Model Program enables families and communities to lift themselves out of poverty and provide for the children in their care.
According to UNICEF, by 2010 one out of three orphans in Thailand will have lost their parents to AIDS. FXB is expanding its Village Model Program in Si Saket Province in the northeastern region of the country, where poverty is most acute. Children in this area are vulnerable to drugs, sexual exploitation, and violence, and often lack access to education and health care. FXB currently has villages in Buriram and Mahasarakam Provinces as well.
