Dhammajarinee Witthaya School<br />

Educating girls to live in accord with dharma and<br />

to create world peace


Dhammajarine Witthaya School is the first and<br />

only entirely free girls boarding school<br />

administered by Buddhist nuns in <strong>Thailand</strong>.<br />

We provide housing, clothing, food, school<br />

supplies, medical and dental care.<br />

We also organize scholarships for students to<br />

attend university after graduation.


“I am from the Hill Tribe. My family are farmers. We grow rice. We don’t really<br />

have enough food. We don’t have enough to eat. Since I was very young I<br />

didn’t know anything. I couldn’t even speak Thai properly. I couldn’t<br />

communicate with my friends. After a while at this school, I improved my<br />

study and my grades are now on a good level. Practicing meditation makes my<br />

mind clearer and improves my memory.”!<br />

Student Nun Aria, 15 years


The girls at our school are from many rural<br />

provinces from <strong>Thailand</strong>.<br />

They come from poor families, problem families,<br />

victims of domestic violence or sexual abuse, or<br />

they are at-risk.


“DJWS is the place that is safe and it can help and<br />

heal the mind and hearts of girls, and give them<br />

the opportunity for education.”<br />

Passakchai, School Director

Sunsia comes from a poor family in<br />

rural <strong>Thailand</strong>


We began in 1990 with a small group of Buddhist nuns<br />

working in an impoverished area of <strong>Thailand</strong>. We<br />

established a safe home and provided skill training for 30<br />

orphan girls ages 12 to 15.<br />

These girls had little or no hope for education or a bright<br />

future.<br />

Over the past 28 years, we have helped over 3000 young<br />

girls by giving them a comfortable home to live, loving care<br />

and attention, quality education and the hope for a better<br />

future.<br />

Today the organization has grown to be Dhammajarinee<br />

Witthaya School with over 1061 students from<br />

kindergarden to grade 12 .


All students meditate together two times a day as<br />

part of their routine


7 days a week, 365 days a year,!<br />

our school creates an influence of !<br />

harmony and peace for our world.


We want to help many more girls in <strong>Thailand</strong> and<br />

build a better future.<br />

We need your financial support.<br />

This year, we had to stop accepting new students<br />

because our current dormitory is fully occupied.<br />

Currently we give 1061 students free education.<br />

Our goal is to increase to 1500 students in the next<br />

three years.


We need funds of !<br />

$1.1million USD, to construct and furnish a new<br />

dormitory building for up to 900 more students.!<br />

Together we can bring a smile to many<br />

more faces like this…<br />

Please help us to impact the lives of more young girls in<br />

<strong>Thailand</strong>.<br />

Together we can make a difference.
