How t-shirts help in the fight against poverty

Sister Joan Evans, an Australian religious sister, lives and works among the poor in the Klong Toey slum area of Bangkok.

Her efforts assist the underprivileged in many ways, including providing assistance to young mothers through Sister’s fortnightly “milk run” and the help she offers many children and young adults through her education support programs.

Sister Joan’s supporters have produced a range of colourful t-shirts to raise donations to help Sister continue the vital work she does each day in Klong Toey.

Designed by British artist Karen Wightman, the t-shirts represent a semi-abstract view of life in the slums and the help offered by Sister Joan. The t-shirts, available in four designs, cost 300 Baht each with a range of sizes suitable for children and adults.

If you don't need a t-shirt, you can donate 300 Baht (or more!) and one of the t-shirts will be given to a child living in the slums. Imagine how that will brighten their day!

All proceeds raised from the t-shirt project go to support Sister Joan's work in Klong Toey.
