What does it cost to make the difference? |
|
From junior high school to vocational diploma or university degree, SET can guarantee support all the way - up to twelve years in many cases. SET obviously welcomes donations of any value and even a small gift can make an immediate difference to an impoverished student, whether used to pay tuition fees or to help in some other practical way. Here are some examples of how we can use your donation:

500 Baht will buy a pair of school shoes.
