BAMBI is a non-profit organization. Surplus funds raised through membership, donations and activities are donated to local charities which reflect BAMBI's concerns and priorities. Our charities team is committed to helping a number of local charities that are focused on children and/or mothers. We make regular visits to and ensure that the funds and items that BAMBI members have donated are being used appropriately. In any given year, the committee may choose to focus on one or two charities as principal benefactors.

Since the early 80`s BAMBI has always supported underprivileged mothers and children in Thailand. BAMBI charities team collects necessary items to donate, distributes (or facilitates) donations of items, motivates/facilitates volunteers, organizes fundraising events, raises awareness of BAMBI members of organizations to support.

CCD provides care and support to abandoned children with disabilities with the Thai Government Home for babies.  CCD currently provides rehabilitation to approximately 500 children from the government homes. The children are stimulated mentally and physically when they are at one of four CCD day-care centers, this is done with the hope that the children will one day be able to live independently.

This centre provides safety and education to pre schoolers and a wide range of activities to the older children in the Klong Toey slum to create learning possibilities and a safe haven. By having a focus toward children with special needs and who are considered ‘at-risk’, the pre-school makes a unique contribution in a community that often views a child's disability and troubles as receiving their kharma.

10) Burma Border Children`s Art Project, http://www.bbc-art.org/
The Burma Border Children‘s Art Project has introduced art into the curriculum of migrant schools for the fun, enjoyment and creative outlet that it offers all students, as well as aiming to develop the artistic skills of potential future artists. In addition, through the exhibition and sale of work, the project has worked to develop an appreciation that art is a viable income-generating supplement or alternative to working as an unskilled labourer.
