In keeping to its legacy of giving back to the local community, UPS Thailand is donating grants totaling Bt2.16 million (US$60,000) to two Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) in the country —Habitat for Humanity (Thailand) and Foundation of Children Development.

Habitat for Humanity (Thailand) will use the grant to build 11 homes for indigent families in honour of the 60th anniversary of His Majesty King’s accession to the throne. The Foundation of Children Development will channel the funds towards supporting the Children and Youth Volunteer for the Community project which aims to protect and advocate the rights of children.
The donations were made through UPS Community Investment Grant program (CIG) - one of the charitable programs under The UPS Foundation that aims to provide local NGOs with support and funding necessary to address urgent community needs.
