Support & Logistics

Financial considerations:

  • Our program budgets are allocated in advance and do not include funding for internship stipends

  • When possible, we provide a minimal stipend to offset local living costs, but this cannot be guaranteed

  • Interns are responsible for their own international travel, accommodation, visa expenses, and health insurance

We provide guidance for finding affordable local housing, orientation to Mae Sot, and introduce interns to local resources and services.​
