What is MRICRH ?
The Mekong Regional Indigenous Child Rights Home is a collaborative project between the DEPDC and the Government Hill Tribe Development Center. This center was established in November 2002 in order to assist the Hill Tribe populations and the special issues faced by children. The center operates a 24 hour phone line and is available to assist with any crisis as any time of the day. Also, the MRICRH operates a half way home, for sheltering girls and young women who have been trafficked into Thailand. The staff assists each resident with any medical or legal needs and then provides learning and skills training opportunities. The MRICRH seeks to build a wide network with other NGOs working throughout the Mekong Region since the work of this center engages other areas and nations outside of the Chiang Rai Province.
