Cyclists with Compassion is a group of  like-minded cycling enthusiasts and was started in 2015 with the goal to make a difference to underprivileged children and young people in Asia by raising money to better their education and life circumstances, which in turn will bring them hope and the foundation for a brighter future. By raising money from corporate sponsors as well as donations from friends and family donated in recognition of our mental and physical efforts, we hope to contribute our little part of making their world a little better, a little brighter!

For Freedom International aims to see the marginalized, vulnerable, and exploited set free from the injustice of oppression by combating human trafficking and sexual exploitation. FFI has begun their work in the province of Phuket, where they work to change conditions that allow exploitation to exist. FFI believes in a holistic approach so that their projects can give women and children the opportunity to be free from oppression before and after it occurs through prevention, intervention, and restoration programs. In partnership with the Royal Thai Police, the Thai Internet Crimes Against Children, the FBI, and the U.S. Homeland Security, FFI also runs the Child Advocacy Center Phuket, a safe and
child-friendly place for young victims of trafficking and sexual exploitation.

The Asia Center Foundation's mission since 2002 is to help disadvantaged children and children-at-risk by providing care, training and education. Creating both educational and sports programs, ACF helps children to focus on their education and overall development. Despite the difficult and impoverished situations of the students, ACF aims to give them hope to believe in themselves for a brighter future.

Our third charity for CWC 2019 is based in Pattaya: Founded in 1999 as a ministry of Project L.I.F.E. Foundation, Tamar Center is a part of Youth With A Mission Thailand (YWAM). There mission is helping those trapped and working  in the sex industry to find a new life, education and new jobs by reaching out, building relationships, offering shelter and housing, offering vocational training, counseling and providing Bible
teaching. Tamar Center also runs a dedicated program for the children of sex workers.
