Good Shepherd Sisters, Responding to the Needs

In 1981, the Good shepherd Sisters came to Nong Khai, in the northeast of Thailand. Having worked in Bangkok since 1965 with the women who migrated to the city from the rural areas, they understood the pressures on rural families in trying to satisfy their most basic needs. It was clear to the Sisters that these people, disadvantaged in so many ways, had no choices available to them. Lacking an education or training of any sort, employment opportunities were limited. To this day the Good Shepherd Sisters have been a source of empowerment, improving the quality of life for all involved.
