Dear Donors and Kind Supporters,

On behalf of the EDF Foundation, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your generous support in providing scholarships to underprivileged children in 2024 and over the past 37 years. Your continued assistance has been a cornerstone of hope and opportunity for children who lack access to quality education.

Education is a long-term investment. It requires time and dedication, and its results are not immediately visible. However, it serves as a gateway to broader opportunities, enabling children to envision a brighter future, pursue diverse career paths beyond daily labor, and further their education to higher levels. The scholarships you provide are more than financial aid—they are an investment in knowledge and a key to building a stable future for these children. They become a lifelong asset, empowering them to unlock their full potential.

In the 2024 academic year, thanks to your kindness and support, EDF was able to award a total of 8,464 scholarships, a 10% increase from the previous year. Since the foundation's inception in 1987, we have provided scholarships to 422,749 less fortunate students from over 6,000 schools and educational institutions nationwide, helping them become valuable assets to society. See more details [here].

Looking forward to 2025 academic year, EDF is excited to announce a new scholarship program aimed at supporting underprivileged but high-achieving lower secondary students. This initiative arose from teacher recommendations, highlighting the extraordinary efforts of these students who, despite family financial difficulties, unstable home lives, or the need to work to support their families, excel academically. These children see education as the gateway to escape poverty, striving to achieve excellent grades while enduring challenges far greater than most.

The pilot program "Save My Future" in 2024 academic year successfully supported 147 deserving high-achieving lower secondary students. For 2025, we aim to expand this support to 500 students. We invite you to join us in empowering these young achievers by contributing to this meaningful cause. More details about this program and how to donate can be found [here].

Together, We Can Create Opportunities

As the festive season approaches, we invite you to give the gift of education to an underprivileged child—a gift that could transform their life forever. Beyond the joy of giving, your donations are eligible for income tax deductions under applicable laws in Thailand.

In addition to scholarships, you can also contribute by donating Education Gift Sets for scholarship recipients or other underprivileged children in our programs. These gifts not only bring smiles and joy but also teach children the value of sharing with their peers who are less fortunate. For many, this might be the first gift they’ve ever received.
