Changes Over Time at Two NGOs

Changes in funding and policy had important implications for both organizations, and the children that they serve. Change was an ever-present aspect of the work of both NGOs, and the two organizations navigated the changing landscape of funding, development, education and media attention in distinctly different ways that had profound effects on their educational programs, and the long term impact on the children they served.

Change at DEPDC

Because of my relationship with the organization, the accessibility of the organization and more established nature of the organization, a majority of my data were gathered at DEPDC and a majority of my time was spent at this NGO. Therefore, the central site in the study was the Development and Education Programme for Daughters and Communities (DEPDC).

I obtained data on DEPDC in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and I found that several features of the organization changed over this time period: groups of children served, programs provided, funding issues, general goals of the organization, some facilities, and accreditation of some education programs. Across all three years, the Patak Half-Day School served approximately 150 children per year, with the majority of children in kindergarten and first grade, and the numbers decreasing with each consecutive grade. The children arrive at DEPDC through referral from other NGOs, partners, and community members in Thailand and in other countries, as well as arriving at the NGO after hearing of the organization on the Child Voice Radio.
