Ark International Foundation
ARK International Foundation is a legally registered foundation under the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security in Thailand, operating out of Bangkok. We are dedicated to defending the rights of children and youth at risk across Southeast Asia, working to restore their dignity, build life skills, and unlock their God-given potential to contribute positively to their communities and society.
​
Through programs in education, mentoring, life-skills training, and community support, ARK International partners with individuals, local communities, churches, and other organizations to create sustainable, long-term change. Our work goes beyond meeting immediate needs by building strong foundations that empower young people to rise above adversity and step into brighter futures.
​
One of our flagship initiatives is the Nak Suu Rugby Academy, a sports-based youth development program that combines rugby training, mentorship, and life-skills education. Through Nak Suu, children and youth develop confidence, discipline, teamwork, and hope, transforming their lives both on and off the field. Our mission is rooted in compassion, commitment, and community, as we strive to create environments where every child can flourish.
