Sriphai Homberg is a visionary leader, a resilient advocate, and the heart behind the Avoda Foundation. As the co-founder and CEO, she has dedicated her life to empowering vulnerable communities, uplifting marginalized individuals, and creating sustainable change across Thailand.
Born into an Iu Mien refugee family in Northern Thailand, Sriphai’s journey is a testament to the power of faith, determination, and compassion. Growing up in a family displaced by conflict, she experienced firsthand the challenges of poverty, prejudice, and instability. These experiences shaped her worldview and ignited a deep passion for serving others, especially those who feel forgotten or voiceless.
A Journey of Faith and Leadership
Sriphai’s path to leadership began with her own struggles and triumphs. Raised in a household practicing spirit worship, she was introduced to Buddhism at school and later encountered Christianity through a local missionary couple. Amid family challenges and personal crises, she discovered her faith in God, finding peace and purpose through prayer.
Armed with this newfound faith, Sriphai pursued higher education, earning a degree in Mass Communication from a university in Bangkok. During her studies, she met Raimund Homberg, her future husband and partner in mission. Together, they began working to provide English and Life Skills classes to children in impoverished Thai villages, laying the foundation for what would later become the Avoda Foundation.
