Nation Foundation has joined private-sector partners in delivering more than 1 million baht in assistance to communities in Sisaket and Ubon Ratchathani, supporting public health services and educational opportunities in remote areas of Northeast Thailand.
The mission was carried out under the “Nation Shares Kindness: Creating Opportunities, Shaping Futures” project, which aims to improve access to healthcare and support students in underserved communities.
Shine Bunnag, Chairman of the Executive Committee and CEO of Nation Group, and chairman of Nation Foundation, noted that the role of the media was not limited to delivering quality news and meaningful content to the public, but also included a responsibility to help create positive change in society.
He described the project as Nation Foundation’s first social mission of the year, reflecting its commitment to extending opportunities to people in need, particularly in the areas of public health and education.
“Access to quality medical treatment is a basic right for everyone, while education is the key to building a future for students. Supporting both areas together helps create a concrete and sustainable foundation for society,” Shine added.
During the visit, Nation Foundation and its partners travelled to Phayu Hospital in Phayu district of Sisaket, where they provided 150,000 baht to support the purchase of life-saving and medical equipment.
A further 150,000 baht was presented to Si Rattana Hospital in Sisaket to help fund the construction of a building for psychiatric patients and drug rehabilitation services. The facility is intended to improve the hospital’s capacity to care for patients in Sisaket and nearby areas.
Project partners also contributed essential items, including rice, face masks, drinking water and consumer goods, as part of the mission.
Executives and project partners later visited Ban Nong Hang School in Muang Sam Sip district of Ubon Ratchathani, where they handed over 150 scholarships, learning materials, sports equipment, rice, dried food, snacks, drinking water and other necessities worth more than 400,000 baht.
The support was provided to disadvantaged students and schools in Muang Sam Sip and Khueang Nai districts, with the aim of expanding educational opportunities, easing household expenses and supplying resources needed for student development.
The “Nation Shares Kindness: Creating Opportunities, Shaping Futures” mission received support from partner organisations and donors, including the Piti Bhirombhakdi Foundation, Kaijae Rice, Deli Development (Thailand), Srinanaporn Marketing, Kuang Pei San Food Products, CP All, Charoen Pokphand Group, Mr D.I.Y.
