About Phuket Sunshine Village

In the wake of the devastating Boxing Day tsunami that hit Phuket in 2004, members of the Lions Club of Phuket Andaman Sea decided to involve themselves in a long-term project to assist the victims of that terrible tragedy. Bringing care and assistance to children in need became the main objective of the Club, and the idea of creating a village grew.

With the assistance of the French Red Cross and Child Watch Phuket, the Village is today home to over 100 children from Phuket and surrounding provinces.
