About STU AND THE KIDS INC
Stu and the Kids Inc is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) public charity that focuses on funding university and technical-school scholarships and mentoring for underserved and orphaned Hill Tribe students in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The organization was founded by Stuart (Stu) Skversky and operates by fundraising in the U.S. (annual food-festival style events and other drives) and partnering with the Wat Don Chan school/orphanage in Chiang Mai to place and support scholars.
The charity’s work centers on covering full education costs (tuition, uniforms, books, room and board) for selected students and providing ongoing mentorship; historically the group collected funding for multi-year scholarships and reported several graduates and active students. Publicly available materials indicate active fundraising and community events through at least 2019, with third-party charity directories and fundraising platforms listing EIN 47-1843354 and the organization’s Los Angeles mailing address.
