HDF Mercy Centre Thailand

HDF Mercy Centre was founded in 1972 by Father Joe Maier and Sister Maria Chantavarodom. Since then, we have been serving the multi-faith community in Bangkok’s largest slum, Klong Toey. While Mercy Centre began as an HIV/AIDS hospice, we have since evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of society.

Our Impact Includes:

17 Kindergarten Schools: Located throughout Bangkok, providing early education to those who need it most (several of which are currently in urgent need of repair).

1,000+ Students: Supporting children from underprivileged backgrounds with a range of complex needs.

3 Orphanages: We operate a boys' home and a girls' home within our Bangkok community, as well as a home for older boys on the outskirts of the city. These children come from difficult backgrounds, including experiences of neglect, abuse, and abandonment.
