MFEC continues its mission to build a society that leaves no one behind by serving as the host of the 2025 Kathin Samakkhi (Unity Kathin) merit-making ceremony at Wat Tham Krabok, Saraburi Province. More than a meditation center, Wat Tham Krabok serves as a “place of life restoration”—helping individuals who have struggled with drug addiction voluntarily rebuild their lives, develop vocational skills, regain hope, and reintegrate into society with dignity and purpose.
ecause We Believe That “Opportunity Is the Power of Life”
Wat Tham Krabok does not rely solely on medical treatment. Instead, it draws upon the power of Buddhist teachings, personal responsibility, and learning the value of life, enabling individuals in rehabilitation to heal emotionally and mentally—transforming guilt into the energy for meaningful change.
The Beginning of This Kathin Initiative
Mr. Siriwat Wongjarukorn (P’Leng), CEO of MFEC, shared the inspiration behind this initiative:
“I have long heard about Wat Tham Krabok’s work in drug rehabilitation. After following the news, I realized that drug addiction remains a serious issue today. What is most alarming is that the youngest average age of drug users is only 13 years old. This motivated me to focus our social contribution in this area. I also happened to know a junior monk who shared the same intention to help create social change, which led to the decision to organize this Kathin ceremony.”
Following this, P’Leng and the MFEC team visited Wat Tham Krabok to engage directly with individuals undergoing rehabilitation as well as caregivers, seeking ways to create lasting impact. A key focus was vocational skills training, based on the belief that without proper skills and opportunities, individuals may risk returning to the same cycle. MFEC therefore supports skills development to help rehabilitated individuals reintegrate into society with confidence, value, and sustainable livelihoods.
Beyond Donations: ESG in Action
“For MFEC, our role goes beyond making donations. We are committed to ESG—especially the Social (S) dimension—by giving back to society. This Kathin ceremony is not just about merit-making; it is about supporting vocational training, inspiring those in rehabilitation, and encouraging our employees, customers, and partners to recognize the value of this collective support.”
MFEC would like to sincerely thank its customers, partners, employees, and all participants for being part of this effort to build an inclusive society—through an initiative that goes beyond merit-making to create sustainable, life-changing impact for individuals and communities.
