Regarding assistance for people with disabilities, the foundation's Social Welfare Department has continuously initiated and expanded projects, recognizing the hardships faced in daily life to promote and develop quality of life. One such project is "Poh Teck Tung Social Welfare," which provides wheelchairs to people with disabilities along with travel allowances for recipients. This aid has now reached disadvantaged people with disabilities in regional areas. Additionally, the foundation assists through or in partnership with other organizations and agencies, such as supporting travel costs and consumer goods for prosthetic leg recipients, technicians, and volunteers in the Mobile Royal Prosthetic Leg Unit project, and giving gifts for encouragement on the National Day of Persons with Disabilities in collaboration with the Thai Social Welfare Council under Royal Patronage, as seen in this event.
Over its more than 116 years, the Poh Teck Tung Foundation has expanded its project network extensively, not only relieving suffering and promoting well-being for the underprivileged regardless of race or religion, but also developing quality of life in many ways to become a comprehensive public charity organization helping citizens in all aspects, in line with its mission: "Poh Teck Tung: Saves Lives, Preserves Lives, Builds Lives."
