Charity Project


The Triam School Foundation’s aim is to help children through education. The foundation is based at Triam Suksa School in Soi Dao, Thailand, 66km north of Chanthaburi. The School works with around 1,300 children. The location of this school is very important, as it is right next to the Thailand-Cambodia border where, according to the UN's Human Development Index, up to one million children are without education and the availability of health care is very limited.

As 2,600 children died from drowning anually in Thailand, money raised from the BCO Young Talent Charity Concert 2013 was used to purchase a portable 25m swimming pool to educate children in the area survival swimming skill.
