Nongprue provided a total of 600,000 baht in financial aid to 10 local households with disabled family members.
Mayor Mai Chaiyanit led the March 26 presentation cosponsored by the Social Innovation Foundation and Chonburi Social Development Department.
The 60,000 baht per family was donated by Yamada Somboon Co. Ltd., of Siam Industrial Park in Sriracha’s Pluak Daeng Sub-district.
The money from the major automotive parts supplier was intended to help the disabled start their own businesses or purchase necessary equipment to help them generate income from home.
The objective is to allow the disabled to support themselves and not be a burden on other family members.
