We work with Asia's poorest and most disadvantaged people, including tribal and homeless people, trafficked women, orphans and street children, small-scale farmers, bonded labourers and those rebuilding their lives devastated by natural disasters or conflict.

Our regional headquarters are in Bangkok and we operate in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Laos, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand and Vietnam.
