About Us

The first house of the Good Shepherd Sisters was established in 1965 in the Din Daeng District of Bangkok, Thailand. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing the quality of life of all those in need regardless of their religious affiliation. Since that time the number of being helped has increased drastically. The area of Bangkok in which the Sisters first began working is unrecognizable. From the open paddy fields and slum dwellings, it is now a crowded busy metropolis. The slums have increased in number and the needs of the people facing unemployment, sickness, lack of educational opportunities and poverty have escalated.

Compassionate and healing relationships are integral to our mission. Our specific focus is towards the human, social and spiritual development of women and girls. We work in direct service projects with women, children and families to empower, enhance dignity, support self-sufficiency and build esteem in those who have been excluded from the benefits of society.
