Po Teck Tung Foundation is reducing inequality and expanding opportunities to create equal livelihoods for residents of Lampang, Lamphun, and Chiang Rai, with a total value of over 1.1 million baht. The foundation is distributing occupational equipment to low-income families and providing free medical services in the region.
Between 18-19 August 2025, foundation leadership led by Chinda Bunyalap, audit committee member, along with Siriporn Krajang (social welfare manager), Naowarat Wansilp (community medical unit head), and Prathawi Kulbut (acting education and career promotion department head), distributed vocational equipment to 60 women, men, single fathers, and LGBTQ+ individuals across three provinces with limited resources but possessing skills and knowledge. The total value of equipment distributed was 1,163,800 baht.
The initiative was presided over by Ronroong Theprak, Deputy Governor of Lampang Province, along with other provincial and national officials. The foundation also deployed community medical units with volunteer doctors, medical staff, rescue teams, and volunteers to provide free eyeglasses, haircuts, and youth recreation activities in Lampang and Chiang Rai.
The Occupational Development Program for Women and Families aims to provide vocational equipment to economically disadvantaged women, men, single fathers, and LGBTQ+ individuals who lack resources despite possessing skills and knowledge. In 2025, the foundation is collaborating with 12 women and family development centers across Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Chachoengsao, Nakhon Ratchasima, Songkhla, Surat Thani, Sisaket, Khon Kaen, Lamphun, Lampang, Chiang Rai, and Phitsanulok. The foundation hopes this project will help create employment, generate income, reduce social inequality, and contribute to sustainable national development.
Over its 116-year history, Po Teck Tung Foundation has expanded its programs widely, alleviating suffering and providing welfare to disadvantaged people regardless of race or religion.
