Providing coats to seniors & poor families, Chiang Rai.

          Because "the cold" isn't just a pleasant chill... It's a danger that steals warmth and health from the elderly, impoverished families, and underprivileged individuals who lack even a warm winter coat.

          When winter arrives, temperatures in many northern mountainous areas drop significantly. In some provinces, it gets so cold it can be called a "hazard." This is especially true in the high, remote areas of Chiang Rai Province, where most of the land is forest and surrounded by mountains. Freezing air blankets the high peaks, with temperatures plummeting to just 3–7 degrees Celsius.

          For many, the cold might just be a time to enjoy a "pleasant breeze." But for them—the elderly, impoverished families, and underprivileged people living in the high, remote areas of Chiang Rai Province—the cold becomes a threat to their lives and health.

          It's a heartbreaking sight: many families still face the cold without adequate clothing. Old, torn winter coats and thin blankets offer no protection against the biting wind. While some blankets have been distributed, many people still lack essential items like winter coats, hats, gloves, and socks, which are crucial for alleviating the cold in daily life.

          Chiang Rai Provincial Red Cross Chapter has launched the "Chiang Rai Winter Clothing Project to Combat the Cold" to produce 5,000 winter coats. These will bring warmth to the elderly, needy families, and underprivileged individuals across 18 districts, helping everyone achieve better health and well-being. Warmth isn't just a physical item; it's hope and encouragement. Let's join together to share warmth and create smiles this winter. Because your kindness is the warmest light of all.

Budget

The project involves producing 5,000 winter coats at 300 Baht each, totaling 1,500,0000 Baht
