Poh Teck Tung Foundation Supports Livelihoods in Phatthalung
The Poh Teck Tung Foundation has provided vocational equipment to 28 low-income households in Phatthalung province to foster sustainable self-sufficiency.
On November 5, 2026, the Poh Teck Tung Foundation conducted a charitable outreach program at the Pa Bon District Office in Phatthalung province. Led by committee members Surapong Techaruwichit and Surapong Serathapakdee, the foundation distributed vocational equipment valued at 703,829 baht to 28 low-income households. This initiative aims to provide families with the necessary tools to generate independent income, thereby addressing social inequality and promoting long-term community stability. In addition to the equipment donation, the foundation deployed a mobile medical unit to provide free services to the local community. These services included general health check-ups, diabetes screenings, dental care, and vision testing, including the distribution of eyeglasses. For residents and visitors, this event highlights the active role of private charitable organizations in supporting the socio-economic development of southern Thailand. While the immediate needs of these 28 households have been addressed, the long-term impact of this vocational support on local economic conditions remains to be seen. Further details regarding future outreach programs in other provinces have not yet been confirmed.
