Mitsubishi Electric Thailand Foundation

Social Welfare Science and Technology Mitsubishi Electric Thai Foundation

Founded in 1991, the Mitsubishi Electric Thai Foundation (METF) supports the education of tomorrow's engineers by providing scholarships to engineering students at Thai universities. METF also provides special grants to grade schools recommended by the Thai Ministry of Education to support their lunch program. In recent years, METF is enhancing its effort by also organizing employee-driven volunteer activities at local grade schools.

Science and Technology Scholarship program

The METF launched a scholarship program in 1993 to promote science and technology development in Thailand. Every year, 60 students in four engineering universities in Thailand are selected to receive the scholarship. Recipients are students who excel in academics but are not able to receive sufficient financial resources from their family to devote themselves to their studies.

Social Welfare Support program for grade school lunches

Since 1999, the METF annually has granted Lunch Support Fund to elementary schools recommended by the Thai Ministry of Education a sum of money to buy feed and fertilizer with which to grow crops and cultivate livestock. These provisions are then used to provide nourishing lunches to schoolchildren in need. At the same time, the program teaches children about the importance and joys of growing and raising food.

Collaboration with Thai employees

In collaboration with local Mitsubishi Electric Group companies in Thailand, METF contributes to local communities through tree-planting activities, science classrooms for elementary school students, community contribution activities, and making donations to a temple that cares for AIDS patients. As many as 500 employees and local residents participated at a time, and participants were able to share joy with many people through these activities.
