National Council on Social Welfare Partners with Department of Skill Development to Empower Mothers
The National Council on Social Welfare of Thailand is collaborating with the Department of Skill Development to provide vocational training for National Outstanding Mothers nationwide.
According to a report by Thai Post on August 4, 2026, Police Lieutenant Dr. Manas Nonuch, President of the National Council on Social Welfare of Thailand under the Royal Patronage, announced a new partnership with the Department of Skill Development. This initiative focuses on providing vocational training to women recognized as National Outstanding Mothers across the country.
The program centers on teaching the craft of creating artificial flowers and 'Dok Mai Chan' (sandalwood flowers used in funeral rites). The primary objective of this collaboration is to foster sustainable income-generating opportunities for these mothers while simultaneously preserving traditional Thai craftsmanship and wisdom.
For residents and visitors, this initiative highlights ongoing efforts by Thai social organizations to support community-based economic development and cultural preservation. By empowering mothers with marketable skills, the program aims to strengthen local livelihoods.
While the announcement confirms the partnership and the specific training focus, details regarding the timeline for the rollout of these workshops in specific provinces and the total number of participants expected to be reached remain to be confirmed. Further updates from the National Council on Social Welfare are expected as the program progresses.
