About DEPDC/GMS

Fighting together against Human Trafficking

DEPDC/GMS is a non-profit community based NGO working in Thailand on the prevention side of the trafficking of women and children into the sex industry or other exploitative child labour situations. It offers free education, vocational training and full time accommodation for young girls and boys in an effort to achieve these goals. As well as providing free permanent shelter and education DEPDC/GMS also runs several other projects and activities aimed at the prevention of and protection from trafficking and the provision of child rights in the region; emergency shelter for abused or abandoned children, care and repatriation for girls who have left commercial sex work, education for vulnerable children and teens outside of the formal education system, youth leadership education programme to combat trafficking in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) and vocational and human rights training for undocumented migrants and indigenous peoples. Since its inception DEPDC has helped prevent thousands of children from the Greater Mekong Subregion succumb to the sex industry or other exploitative child labour situations. These young children have received further schooling or vocational training as a good start to a healthy life.

    I understand how difficult it can be for the volunteers helping to bring some order into the children’s lives. We from the Western world take things for granted because of the lack of understanding of just how serious the manipulation of helpless children is. Without the support of the volunteers, these children would never have the opportunity to improve their lives through education. I commend all the volunteers involved in this project. Keep up the good work and know that without your support these children would never have the opportunity to improve their lives.
