Nang Fah Project, founded by designer Tytania Rose, is building sustainable, self-supporting centers for young girls of Southeast Asia and the Hill Tribe Communities in Thailand who have been forced into the sex trade industry for lack of other work or opportunity. The center provides rescued girls safe haven (room and board) counseling, medical treatment, education and vocational training in the production of eco-friendly fashion products and accessories reflective of the traditional and historical arts and crafts of the region.

The school is located in Chiang Mai. Our sister center, The Hill Tribe Resources Center, is located in the mountains and houses 80 children. Few other causes today are as important as protecting young children from the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) which is growing due to an increase in poverty, natural disaster, like the recent Tsunami, and the use of children on the internet. CSEC is recognized by the United Nations as a growing problem, especially in inaccessible areas where the rule of law is weak.

The Nang Fah Project is a model that makes sense. It is only through education and the creation of viable jobs that cycles of misery like this can be changed.
