The initiative aims to nurture their potential, and contribute to a better quality of life for youth in a sustainable manner.

For 2026, WHA Group kicked off its annual school contribution activities at Wat Nong Kra Bok School in Rayong Province, the first school to receive educational supplies under this year’s project. The ceremony was presided over by Ms. Jareeporn Jarukornsakul, Chairman of the Executive Committee and Group CEO of WHA Corporation PCL. Mr. Ekachai Saengsri, Senior Deputy District Chief of Ban Khai District, and Ms. Nattha Suksaeng, Director of Wat Nong Kra Bok School, joined the event together with WHA Group executives, project partners, teachers, representatives from government agencies and local administrative organizations, community leaders, and students .

Ms. Jareeporn Jarukornsakul, Chairman of the Executive Committee and Group CEO of WHA Corporation PCL, stated: “Twenty-eight years of giving represents both our pride and a promise embedded in WHA Group’s DNA. We have always believed that investing in education is one of the key foundations for human and social development. Providing educational supplies is part of our efforts to create learning opportunities and inspire young people to pursue their dreams, grow, and realize their full potential. This reflects our commitment to ‘WHA: WE SHAPE THE FUTURE FOR THAILAND’ and our determination to build a sustainable future for Thailand.”

In 2026, WHA Group received support from 89 partner organizations in jointly advancing the project and expanding educational opportunities for young people. The initiative covers 91 schools and child development centers located around WHA’s 15 industrial estates in Chonburi and Rayong provinces, providing school backpacks and educational supplies to more than 28,000 students. Over the past 28 years, the project has provided educational opportunities to a cumulative total of more than 393,800 young people.

Furthermore, the project reinforces WHA Group’s commitment to sustainable business practices. The school backpacks distributed this year are made from upcycled fabric under the Group’s WeCYCLE project, which transforms used plastic bottles into new materials. This helps reduce waste, protect the environment, and cultivate environmental and sustainability awareness among young people from an early age.

The “WHA Annual School Contribution Project” forms part of WHA Group’s social development commitment under the W-H-A framework, encompassing Wellbeing – promoting better and more sustainable living for people and the environment; Human Progress – advancing people across all sectors of society; and Accessibility – creating opportunities to access essential resources and a better quality of life. The project brings Human Progress to life through education by creating learning opportunities and supporting young people in developing their potential, laying a strong foundation for them to grow and become an important force in the future development of their communities, society, and the country. This reinforces WHA Group’s commitment to growing alongside communities and shaping a sustainable future together.
