SERRV partners in Thailand: Thai Tribal Crafts, Y Development Association

That guaranteed food on their table, shelter for those who pay rent for their houses, clothing for their families and most importantly, school needs for their children. Health matters are also taken care of. - Joseph Muchina - Trinity Jewellery Crafts, Kenya.
