More about Seeds of Change

Seeds of Change Phuket (SOC) is a community project established in 2013 with a focus on empowering underprivileged individuals in Phuket, Thailand. Our mission is to break the cycle of poverty by providing vocational training, and an “earn as you learn” scheme. We offer opportunities to both Thai and Burmese individuals, equipping them with the skills needed for employment. So far, we have taught hundreds of students, in crafts and sewing, from the Banya literacy center in Thalang, and since 2021 we have trained 14 local unemployed people (aged 16 to 59) in a 3-month training scheme, how to sew of which all now are employed either by SOC or elsewhere in Phuket.

In mid-2022, SOC was presented with the chance to rent a larger space starting in November 2022, with funding provided by the Living Waters Phuket Foundation (LWPF) for over a year to support our ongoing sewing training program. 

In September 2024 we have relocated  to a new premises in Phuket Town, which includes a shop, sewing room, and craft room, to enhance our sewing production and training.
