Overview

Underprivileged students do not get opportunities to explore their interests outside the normal classroom due to inadequate school and familial budget. Saturday School organizes extracurricular classes for underprivileged students to find their personal interest beyond normal classrooms.  Every 3,000 THB donated provides 1 student with a new learning opportunity for 1 semester.

Problem

Underprivileged students do not get equal life opportunities as their richer peers due to inadequate school and familial budget and only acquire school-subject knowledge, which may not answer their personal interest. And as many as 240,000 Thai students left the education system to support their family from the pandemic in 2021 

Saturday School Mission

Saturday School hosts extracurricular classes for underprivileged students to create access to life opportunities and assist their discovery of passion and interests beyond conventional classroom subjects. The organization also aims for students to attain soft skills (self-awareness, growth mindset, resilience, prosocial behavior) necessary for their future career. 

Arranged in partnering opportunity expansion schools every Saturday and facilitated by volunteers, students are encouraged to join extracurricular courses, which vary according to student interest and to the current skills and career trend.
