Principles and reasons

In Thailand, there is a significant number of individuals with limb disabilities who require prosthetics to enhance their quality of life and enable them to pursue careers or to support their families with pride and without being a burden to society but the cost of producing prosthetics is high. The Prostheses Foundation of HRH the Princess Mother can provide prosthetics at an affordable cost by utilizing alternative materials to eliminate the need for imports and reducing expenses. The foundation is inclusive welcoming individuals regardless of their nationality, religion (no card required).

Objectives:

1. To stimulate a sense of sharing and sacrifice for others
2. To foster employee engagement within the organization as well as with partners and customers.
