Coin Press - STARCARES-Renovated Court In Thailand Grows Into a Shared Space for School and Community

The upgraded facility serves 62 Ban Nam Lat School students through PE and sports activities. On weekends, the court is also available to neighbouring residents, reaching approximately 600 people across 180 households. The project reflects STARCARES’ focus on supporting accessible, multi-use spaces in rural communities.

Many rural schools in Sukhothai double as the only nearby space where villagers can gather, given limited recreational infrastructure in the area. Recognising this, STARCARES designed the renovation to serve students first, then transition into shared use once lessons finish, a model now playing out on the ground.

That shared purpose came to life when a child from the surrounding community joined Ban Nam Lat School students on the court. What began as a simple game became a moment of belonging, showing how the space can bring children together beyond the school itself.

“Seeing my son so happy brought tears to my eyes. He kept talking about the games, the other children, and how much he wanted to come back. As a mother, seeing him feel so included and joyful meant more than I can explain.” — said Narinya Vejjaporn, mother of a local community child.

The Thailand project advances STARCARES’ wider effort to revive shared spaces for lasting use. Projects in Vietnam, the Philippines and Nigeria follow the same principle: infrastructure should remain functional long after construction.

To reinforce this, STARCARES now funds maintenance for its courts every one to two years, safeguarding their condition and continued usefulness to the communities they serve.

Under ‘Where Tomorrow STARS Begin,’ the focus extends beyond building new spaces to keeping those already created in service for years to come.
