Livelihoods

A sustainable livelihood is more than just a job; it’s the ability for individuals and families to secure the resources, skills, and opportunities needed to meet their basic needs, pursue their aspirations, and build a resilient future. In Thailand, while economic development has progressed, many vulnerable communities still face significant challenges in establishing and maintaining stable livelihoods. These challenges can include limited access to education and skills training, lack of capital for small businesses, fluctuating market prices for agricultural goods, climate change impacts, and issues related to legal status and discrimination for migrant and stateless populations.

ADRA Thailand is dedicated to empowering individuals and displaced people to overcome these obstacles. Our livelihoods programs focus on equipping people with the knowledge, skills, and resources to generate sustainable income, enhance food security, and build resilience against economic shocks. Through initiatives such as vocational training, micro-enterprise development, and market access support, we work hand-in-hand with communities to create lasting solutions that foster self-reliance and lead to a life of dignity and opportunity for all.
