Give Books & Reading Opportunities to the ones
Who really needed
Majority of Thai children live in poverty and face limited access to books and reading. Only with helping hands could they bring to them the reality of reading opportunities and assist them in ensuring the best possible education, giving them chances to break free from the poverty cycle.
Who We Are
Tai Wisdom Association (TWA) is an organization dedicated to the advancement of education in the country, TWA was founded in 1998 with support from international groups such as the Bernard van Leer Foundation and Ecoles sans Frontieres. And with 80% of young children in Thailand needing support in all areas, TWA is committed to being a driving force in addressing this critical issue.
Investing in early childhood education is vital for long-term human resource development, and TWA is poised to make a real difference in the lives of young learners across the country. Join us today and be a part of the solution to this important challenge!
What We Have Done
Twenty years ago, there were hardly any children’s books; children were never read to; and in the poorer areas, where both parents had to work long days to make a living, the young children were often dropped off at childcare centers that had hardly any resources available. Through education of the public, the setting up of libraries, training of teachers, and lobbying in government, Thailand changed its idea that young children don’t only need to be fed and clothed, but that it is very important to encourage them to start reading at a very young age, and to start learning through literature.
Today, Thailand is a country that fully supports early reading, children’s libraries, and children’s books. The TWA commenced through many innovative ways to promote reading and to educate the nation about children’s literature. As a result, we now can see many organizations supporting and acknowledging this philosophy. The media are covering a variety of stories regarding the importance of children’s reading, children’s literature, and children reading and enjoying books.

Help Us To Help The Children Read
At the Tai Wisdom Association (TWA), we have been promoting reading activities and providing fresh titles to schools for the past 20 years. We believe that every child deserves access to quality reading material that fosters creativity, imagination, and a love of learning.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of government subsidies for certain categories of reading material, many young students in Thailand have little to no access to reading for pleasure. This has led to a significant negative impact on the nation’s low literacy rate.
But with your support, we can do even more. By donating to TWA, you can help us continue to provide fresh titles in a variety of genres, including picture books for young children and young adult literature, which includes informational comics and graphic documentaries. Your contribution will go a long way in supporting our ongoing reading program and making a real difference in the lives of young students across the country.
Together, we can empower these children with the knowledge and imagination they need to succeed in life. So please, join us in our mission to promote reading activities and help children read. Your support is crucial to our success.
Thank you for considering TWA as your partner in making a difference in the lives of young learners.
