The Tsunami of 2004 has inescapably changed the socio-economic environment of Phuket. ACF saw the direct and in-direct results of this within the community and initiated a program to assist families affected by the catastrophe via a scholarship program. 

The program has since changed focus to provide assistance to a number of disadvantaged students.

The program relies on sponsors to contribute to the Scholarship fund via an annual sponsorship of 10,000 Baht per child. This includes provision for school uniforms, school shoes and bags, study materials, stationary and lunch at school. The impact that these basic necessities, or the lack there of, have in a child’s life is vast and the change that the program


has brought about is often both heart warming and extremely rewarding.

This program has brought about the enrichment and advancement of up to 400 children at present.

In 2004 ACF was invited to join hands with Phuket Vagabonds Rugby Club to raise funds for the project during their annual International Rugby Ten's Competition held in Phuket at the end of May. The competition sees teams from across globe converge on Phuket to not only participate in the tournament but to also raise awareness and funds for the ACF Scholarship Program. The continued support of the rugby teams involved is invaluable to the Scholarship Program.
