Esso supports equitable education fund in Thailand
The retailer has presented a 1.6 million-baht fund to help bring students back to schools.
Esso (Thailand) Public Company Limited together with service station dealers nationwide, business partners and Esso Employee Club hosted an event on “Esso mission: to bring students back to schools,” by presenting 1.6 million-baht fund-raise as educational grant to underprivileged students through Equitable Education Fund (EEF).
Manoch Munjitjuntra, Esso director and retail sales manager, led the team in giving 535 educational grants, at 3,000 baht each, totaling 1,605,000 million baht, to students in need from 18 schools surrounding Esso service station at Wang Manao, Phetchaburi province with Dr. Supakorn Buasai, EEF manager presiding over the ceremony.
“Esso Retail Sales has continuously organized fundraising activities to help students in schools around our service stations for 9 consecutive years. This is the first time that we partnered with EEF to identify students who need these grants and monitor the results even more effectively to ensure that they will have the opportunity to keep studying to fulfill their potential. Later this year, we will extend the help to other provinces including Nan,” said Manoch.
Esso is the first company in Thailand to use EEF’s iSEE application which has big data system to identify students who are in need. This will facilitate corporate organizations in giving on time support to bring students back to schools.
