Shoulder-to-Shoulder Foundation (S2S)
Founded in 2001, the Shoulder-to-Shoulder Foundation (S2S) is a Thai-based ministry dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty for the most vulnerable in the Chiang Rai province. Located in the Nanglae subdistrict, S2S is strategically positioned near key schools and universities, placing education and community at the heart of its mission.
​
Mission: Discipleship Through Faith and Action
S2S is committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ. We come alongside students and families, building long-term relationships and teaching the Bible to share the story of God's love.
For Students:
Education as a Pathway Out of Poverty
Provide scholarships and a safe home for students from desperately poor mountain villages, prioritizing orphans and children from single-parent families. For most, this support is the only thing standing between them and the end of their education. This generation is being equipped with the tools to transform their families' futures.
For HIV-Affected Families: Holistic Care for Renewed Hope
Provide supplemental food and spiritual encouragement to families affected by HIV. Through improved nutrition, access to medication, and spiritual growth, many who were once too sick to work have regained their health and are now able to be self-supporting.
