Thoo Mweh Khee Migrant Learning Centre (TMK), Tak, Thailand

Thoo Mweh Khee Migrant Learning Centre (TMKMLC) provides a safe and secure environment for the education of children from the Thai/Burma border. The centre is a school providing education to around 600 children and young adults (5 to 25 years old) from Myanmar half of these students reside in dormitories on campus. Their current efforts are focusing on providing a high-quality education, but also using their status as one of the few local higher education institutions to benefit other school through outreach programmes, including education camps and other events as well as providing technical and financial support to struggling schools. Most of the students are educational migrants who after they graduate return to Myanmar. That part of the border is fluid as such children return to Burma on holidays and parents are able to take them to the school at the start of the year.
