Since its establishment (2004) the Robert Dyckerhoff Foundation is active in the province of Mae Hong Son in North Western Thailand. It is our first priority to give children from the mountain villages the opportunity to have their secondary education. At the moment the foundation supports 17 university students, 40 in high school and 32 in a vocational college. Former scholars were already graduated as doctors, teachers and clerks. Now they are working in their native region to evolve and establish the infrastructure. Practical education is equally important for the region. This is why we started a cooperation with the local Vocational College in 2012. In autumn 2015 the second Robert Dyckerhoff dormitory was opened at the Vocational College.
