Community Centre

In a border town with various nationalities there is a special need for a “centre” where everyone, regardless of race, religion, or occupation, feels welcomed.

The Chanel Community Centre offers hope for a greater sense of community, as well as opportunities for on-going education.

Our staff are ready to offer a welcome to anyone who comes.

Our community outreach goes from the Centre to the fishing boats and factories. This outreach is linked with the international seafarers organization called “Stella Maris”.

The Chanel Centre forms a vibrant hub for many of the activities and programmes which MMR runs for migrant workers and their families.

These programmes include:

  • Burmese Learning Centres
  • Child care
  • Library
  • Mothers’ programme
  • Skills training

Marist Asia Foundation

Ranong is a fishing village in the South of Thailand where migrant Burmese come to escape conflict and poverty in their own country.

The Marist Mission Ranong seeks to help Burmese refugees by offering educational opportunities, supporting their basic health needs, and assist migrants as they seek a better future for themselves and their children.

The Marist Mission Ranong is an initiative of the Society of Mary and it relies heavily on the involvement of its friends and supporters.
