Sarnelli House Thailand

Sarnelli House Thailand is a charitable institution providing medical help and shelter for children affected by HIV/AIDS. It is located in Nongkhai (North East of Thailand), and was founded by the Redemptorist Roman Catholic Father Michael Shea in 1999. Blessed Gennaro Sarnelli was an early Redemptorist monk, who ministered young people on the streets of Naples, Italy.

Sarnelli House, considered as hospice and orphanage, was initially built on donations from the Redemptorist's Priests Foundation of Thailand.[1]

The Center in Thailand is sponsored by churches, the Thai Children's Trust,[2] and private individuals from Germany, USA, Canada, Australia, partly from Thailand. Yearly expenses on food, medicine, education, salaries and utilities are about US$60,000.

The present state of the Sarnelli House Thailand allows to accommodate about 69 children, who stay there until completing their education.
