The Better Life through Education Project  
Providing English and Technology education to the forgotten people of Thailand…
Our project reaches these cultural demographics
>Hill Tribes
>Refugee 
>Women  
>Children
Our research shows, social and economic development, can be achieved through access to a higher standard of education. Education is the answer to creating opportunity for a non-subservient or exploited employment and overall economic development for Thailand’s forgotten.
Our Objectives
English Education
English is the chosen language of the world in business, international tourism and communication. Being able to speak English in Thailand enables a person to acquire a better paying job at three to eight times the normal wage.
Our experience confirms English proficiency, in and of itself, is an equalizing factor for the underprivileged in Thailand and therefore, one of our primary objectives.   

Computer Education and E-Learning
Our world has turned the page to the information age, further alienating many of our poorest citizens. Learning to use a computer will open up a new world to our students, as it has for many of us. The world of technology is an essential tool to further their education. There is no better tool to empower the forgotten citizens of Thailand than access to information…

President
Pennies for Papa
A gleaming light of hope for the forgotten people of Thailand President of the Pennies for Papa Foundation …
Phimprapha Muelae is an advocate for all Thai people who seek a better life. She has a passion for social and economic change for poor Thai communities. Phimprapha’s experiences and life’s challenges are an example of how education and the study of the English language combined with access to information, can empower the poor and marginalized.

Phimphrapa was born without medical assistance in a homemade bamboo hut in an Akha Village in Burma. She was carried across the Thai Burma border as an infant by her Papa to flee oppression. Her family struggled for many years to become citizens of Thailand … At age fourteen, Phimprapha was the first generation of the Akha Hill Tribe to be allowed Thai public school.

She completed five years and learned to speak Thai... Phimphrapa is the product of two very diverse worlds, living her formative years in an Akha village in northern Thailand and at twenty two, migrating to the city of Chiang Mai in search of work to aid her aging parents... While living in the city, she enrolled in English classes. This education led her to the path way to be the founder of the Pennies for Papa Foundation. She embodies the courage to push beyond the life her ancestors had resigned themselves to; poverty, slave labor, drugs, prostitution, and worst of all hopelessness. From personal experience, she knows that through education, the marginalized people of Thailand can work their way to a better life, filled with opportunity and promise...
