Pattaya Slum Ministries is a ministry committed to helping the poor help themselves, through education and skills training. Secondly, we provide short-term relief through periodic distribution of basic necessities such as water, rice and/or noodles as the need arises. We even find ourselves doing some basic health care from time to time. The kids in this picture to the right have just had their hair washed for head lice. Sometimes we do up to 40 kids at a time!

The Center

Currently, we have two set meeting places where we teach English and have a cell group. In the near future, we want to have a building located near our slum that will serve as an educational center for the poor. We hope to have books for children and adults, as well as English classes for interested individuals. In the future, we hope to offer guitar lessons, periodic health clinics and special skills training courses thus improving the quality of life for the slum people.

Kids Club Program

Kids Clubs located in two slums provide activities geared for children ages 6-12. The goal is to educate children about the dangers of drugs, HIV/AIDS and other problems facing families living in slums. As well, our desire is to share the love of Jesus with them. For the most part, we partner with other local ministries who have visiting international teams who come to volunteer their time and energies for our Kids Club program. We often take teams to visit the people in the slums, assessing their needs and visiting their homes. Teams can then offer help with whatever is needed at that time. (i.e. rice, drinking water, noodles etc.).

Volunteers

We are always open to have volunteers come and serve alongside us. Doctors and nurses are also welcome to come and help us do primary health care clinics for the slum people.

If your team or group is interested in coming
to volunteer with any of our programs,
please contact the Outreach Teams Department
at YWAM Thailand National Office directly.

Fast Facts about Pattaya

Pattaya city stretches for about 15 km along the Gulf of Thailand, 150 km south of Bangkok. Though its registered population is only 70,000 people, Pattaya has as many as 2 million tourist visitors each year. Originally a small fishing village of only a hundred families, the Vietnam war brought discovery by the western world and Pattaya soon became the official "R & R" center for American armed forces. Shops services, bars and hotels grew to meet the demand. The tourism boom followed and nowadays, Pattaya is a thriving resort destination.
