🏡 Warm Heart Children’s Homes
A Safe Place to Grow, A Loving Place to Belong
🛖 A Home Away From Home
Our homes are more than dormitories — they are vibrant, caring communities. We maintain separate houses for boys and girls, each supervised by a dedicated house mother, often a woman from the same village or ethnic group as the children themselves. These mothers provide stability, comfort, and emotional care — like any good mom would.
Children share chores (including doing their own laundry!), meals, stories, and laughter. The homes are places of trust and togetherness, where lifelong friendships are built, and every child has a sense of belonging.
🧒 Who We Serve
Most of the children in our care come from Thailand’s Northern Hill Tribes. Many arrive speaking little or no Thai, having never attended formal school. They are bright, eager, and full of potential — but need extra support to succeed in a system not built for them.
We provide:
Our staff become mentors, cheerleaders, and advocates — helping each child adapt, grow, and find their place in the world. |
🏕️ Life on Campus
Our Children’s Homes are nestled on a peaceful campus surrounded by nature — a space designed to nourish both body and mind.
At the heart of daily life is our Canteen, where warm meals are prepared every day using fresh vegetables from our very own Young Smart Farmers gardens. The children take great pride in growing the food they eat — learning responsibility, teamwork, and a deep connection to the land.
Beyond the homes and classrooms, our campus includes:

Beyond the homes and classrooms, our campus includes:
Barb's Place. 🖥️ A computer lab and library for studying and exploration
⚽ A soccer field and outdoor play areas where kids run, laugh, and build confidence
🌿 Open green space for reflection, community events, and growing together
It’s a joyful, safe, and stimulating environment — where children not only receive care, but also contribute meaningfully to the community that supports them.
📚 Education is the Path — But It Starts With a Home
Children in our homes attend local schools, and many go on to higher education with Warm Heart’s continued support. The Children’s Homes provide the foundation: emotional stability, daily structure, and the confidence to dream.
❤️ Why It Matters
Without this support, many of these children would never have the chance to attend school — let alone graduate. Living in remote villages with no transportation, educational access, or even birth certificates, their futures would be limited by geography and poverty.
Instead, they find a second family. A place to grow strong. A place to feel safe. A place to belong.
