Charitable Work

The Karen Hilltribes Trust

The Karen Hilltribes Trust (UK) Founded by Penelope Worsley in 1996 and the Foundation for Karen Hilltribes in Thailand are working with the Karen people of north-west Thailand to improve health, provide education and create a sustainable living.

Penelope's Journey

Their aim is to support the Karen people in sustaining their traditional lives in the mountainous forests of Thailand. The Trust works with them to help them meet the challenges of their daily lives.

The Trust provides help - both financial and physical - to install clean water systems, thereby improving health, supports projects that provide education opportunities for Karen children, and also supports the Karen people in developing sustainable sources of income.

The Trust has it's own website, and we would encourage you to visit this site and learn more about the fine work being undertaken in north-western Thailand amongst the Karen people, who so desperately need help. The website address is www.karenhilltribes.org.
