EBC Enriches Lives of Orphans Through CSR Initiative at Baan Hathairak in Bangkok, Thailand

EBC Financial Group (EBC) continues to uphold our commitment to community support and social responsibility with our latest Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative at Baan Hathairak Orphanage in Thailand. Late last month, EBC employees dedicated their time and resources to providing much-needed support for 36 orphaned children, reinforcing our mission to make a positive impact across marginalised and vulnerable communities worldwide.

The day-long event, saw seven EBC employees distributing essential supplies, offering financial contributions to sustain the orphanage's ongoing operations, and engaging with the children through interactive activities. The day culminated in a shared meal with the orphans and staff, providing both emotional and material support. This initiative is part of EBC's broader strategy to actively contribute to the well-being of communities in Thailand and globally, aligning with our values of fairness, integrity, and responsibility.

A Deeper Connection to Community Empowerment

EBC's participation in the Baan Hathairak initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to creating meaningful change in the communities we serve. EBC recognises that businesses have a fundamental duty to address the socio-economic challenges faced by underserved populations. By supporting vulnerable groups such as orphans through initiatives that address both immediate needs and long-term growth, EBC seeks to empower individuals with the resources and care they need to thrive.

Baan Hathairak, established by the Satthachan Foundation in 2009, serves as a critical shelter for orphaned children, many of whom lack access to basic care and religious education. The foundation was created in 1998 to address the growing number of orphans in Bangkok and surrounding provinces, particularly those of Muslim faith. The shelter provides housing, education, and vocational training to help orphans become self-sufficient and lead dignified lives in accordance with Islamic teachings.

"Supporting communities like Baan Hathairak aligns with our core belief that every individual deserves an opportunity to succeed," said our spokesperson at EBC Financial Group. "At EBC, we are driven by the conviction that corporate responsibility goes beyond business; it's about uplifting those around us and fostering a future where everyone has the potential to achieve their best."

Continuing a Tradition of Community Engagement

This initiative at Baan Hathairak is one of many actions taken by the global financial brokerage to support local communities across Thailand. Earlier in 2024, EBC organised two key CSR events that emphasised our dedication to fostering inclusive growth:

In June 2024, EBC hosted an event at the Ramindra Home for Blind Children, donating essential supplies and participating in interactive activities to support the emotional and educational development of visually impaired children. This effort addressed the lack of access to learning materials and social integration challenges faced by these children.

In March 2024, EBC held a charity event at Ban Khao Kam Phaeng School in Suphanburi, benefiting 357 underprivileged students with vital educational resources, school supplies, and sports equipment. This initiative provided direct support to children in need, ensuring they have the tools necessary for academic success.

These efforts are part of EBC's broader mission to contribute to societal progress and improve the quality of life for communities where we operate. By focusing on education, empowerment, and community well-being, EBC demonstrates that financial success and social responsibility are interconnected.

Values at the Core of EBC's Mission

EBC's approach to CSR is firmly grounded in its core values of dedication, responsibility, and integrity. We believe that businesses have a fundamental duty to contribute positively to the societies they serve. Through initiatives that focus on education, community outreach, and financial literacy, EBC aims to create opportunities for growth and development, driving lasting, positive change for individuals and communities alike. Whether through financial literacy programs, community outreach, or charitable support, EBC's mission is to create opportunities for growth, development, and hope in the regions where it operates.
