BAMBI (Bangkok Mothers and Babies International) is a mother-led volunteer organization that provides information, support and companionship for pregnant women, mothers of babies and small children. BAMBI was founded in April 1982. It is a project of the Childbirth & Breastfeeding Foundation of Thailand (CBFT).
BAMBI is a non-profit organization. Surplus funds raised through membership, donations and activities are donated to local charities which reflect BAMBI's concerns and priorities. Our charities team is committed to helping a number of local charities that are focused on children and/or mothers. We make regular visits to and ensure that the funds and items that BAMBI members have donated are being used appropriately. In any given year, the committee may choose to focus on one or two charities as principle benefactors. BAMBI charities team collects necessary items to donate, distributes (or facilitates) donations of items, motivates/facilitates volunteers, organizes fundraising events, raises awareness of BAMBI members of organizations to support.
