Our story

Almost 25 years ago, Raimund Homberg came to Thailand. He married and then settled in Tak province where he established a company to financially support himself and his family. Because Raimund lived in a rural area, he saw firsthand the struggles that many local children experienced as a result of dysfunctional families, the refugee crisis and, and poverty which caused education to be inaccessible.

Raimund soon partnered with Christians, humble servants of God, who had a great desire to assist helpless children and others facing difficulties in life. They began helping these children by providing them with an education, and ultimately established the first ever education center for refugees in Maesod, Tak.

Furthermore, Raimund and those partnering with him have gathered volunteers from around the world to teach English, Bible, fund scholarships, provide necessary school materials and sports equipment, develop job training seminars for teenage, and fulfill many other needs these children lack from their families.

Avoda Foundation was registered in Thailand as a foundation in 2012. Avoda has since grown to three branches, has helped over 1,500 people, and hopes to impact and empower many more.
