1.  Principles and Rationale

          Sahapat is committed to supporting Thai youth in recognizing the value of doing good deeds, instilling these values from childhood so they grow up to be good and honest citizens. This is achieved by sharing inspiring stories through the social development program “Sahapat for Kids.”

          The project seeks out schools that nurture students to be good, moral, honest, grateful, and socially responsible. It highlights outstanding young role models—students who demonstrate integrity, volunteer spirit, and dedication, particularly in helping their families and communities. The program also provides knowledge about waste separation and reduction, enabling students to apply this knowledge for personal benefit, as well as for their schools and communities. Additionally, the project teaches how to repurpose discarded materials into useful items.

          Beyond providing knowledge, “Sahapat for Kids” also takes children into their communities to do good deeds, fostering a sense of community care and strengthening cooperation between schools and communities. The initiative inspires Thai youth to engage more actively in good deeds.
