Bamboo Project

The Bamboo Project was founded in 2013 to support ongoing community, animal, environment and teaching projects across Thailand. Through the supply of volunteers and funding, Bamboo works with NGO’s and community based organisations to help start, maintain and complete work that is already established. All of the projects that we support are designed to be sustainable and must show that communities and individuals are receiving the necessary tools to carry on the work once the start-up has been completed.
