ROCHANA'S JOURNEY

WHO SHE IS

Rochana escaped an abusive home situation at age 11 and has dedicated her life to protecting her siblings and helping trauma survivors. She chose to study psychology to transform her painful experiences into healing for others.

 

Currently Studying: Counseling Psychology at Ramkhamhaeng University

 

WHY SHE NEEDS A LAPTOP

Rochana currently relies on limited technology access, which restricts her ability to complete psychology coursework and research that requires extensive reading, writing, and online resources.

As she advances in her psychology studies, having her own laptop is no longer a luxury.

It is essential. A laptop will allow her to complete her studies, access online counseling resources, and develop the skills she needs for her chosen field.

"THEY TRIED TO MARRY ME OFF AT NINE. NOW I'M TRAINING TO HEAL TRAUMA SURVIVORS ACROSS THAILAND."

Watch Praipana share her story

MY STORY

At just nine years old, my mother's family had even considered marrying me off. My stepfather was violent and posed a real danger to me. At eleven, I was sent to Baan Unrak for protection from him. I brought my younger sister Latika with me and helped bring more siblings to safety. From the beginning, I knew protecting others wasn't just something I wanted to do - it was something I had to do.
 
Living through trauma taught me that pain can either destroy you or transform you into someone who prevents others from experiencing that same pain. I chose transformation. I'm studying Counseling Psychology at Ramkhamhaeng University with clear goals: become a professional counselor, return to Baan Unrak to support children processing trauma, and create healing spaces across Thailand.
 
Currently, limited technologies restricts my studies. Psychology coursework requires extensive research, case studies, and online resources. Without proper tools, I cannot fully prepare for my career.
 

Your support CAN MAKE A REAL

AND LASTING DIFFERENCE.

With a laptop, I could access essential research databases, complete comprehensive case studies, and develop digital skills needed for modern counseling practice. Your support would help me transform my pain into purpose and guide others toward the same transformation.
