Overview
Beyond Thailand’s golden temples, incredible food, and vibrant culture lies a chance to make a genuine difference. In the peaceful communities of Mae Sariang, you’ll work alongside local schools, healthcare partners, and community groups to deliver practical health education that empowers people to live healthier lives while experiencing the warmth and hospitality that northern Thailand is famous for.
Communities across rural Thailand continue to face challenges accessing quality health education and healthcare services. From mental wellbeing and nutrition to non-communicable diseases and environmental health, education plays a vital role in building healthier communities. Working as part of a team, you’ll create engaging, hands-on workshops that raise awareness, encourage healthy lifestyle choices, and strengthen community capacity through practical health promotion initiatives.
Depending on your field of study and experience, you may also have opportunities to facilitate basic first aid training, conduct community health screenings, or support local healthcare professionals in hospital and community settings.

Not only will you feel a great sense of achievement, but it’s an experience that’s guaranteed to make you stand out in any future employment opportunity.
Are flights included?
Flights aren’t included in the programme cost because many participants choose to extend their travels before or after the programme, so booking flights independently gives you the flexibility to arrange your own travel plans. It also works out more cost efficient if you book them.
Do I need any previous experience or qualifications?
You don’t need any previous experience or qualifications to join most of our programmes. We provide comprehensive preparation and support before departure, as well as a detailed Programme Orientation on arrival in-country, ensuring participants feel confident and ready to contribute to the programme.Â
Can I raise money to fund my trip?
Absolutely! This is something we encourage you to do, and we’ll help you set up an official fundraising page so you can share it with your network to collect donations.
What is the accommodation like?
You’ll either be staying at our hub, or a local partner guesthouse in dorm-style accommodation, sharing your room with up to three other participants. There are western showers and toilets, as well as communal spaces for relaxing. While you will be provided with home comforts, they will be different to your usual standards and all part of the challenge!
