Migrant workers connected to the construction sector in Thailand move around from project to
project regularly with their children and live in construction site camps with slum-like conditions. Due to constant migration, a lack of Thai language skills, and other barriers, their access to essential public services is heavily affected.

There are an estimated 60,000 children currently living in Thai construction site camps.
