Thai Taste is so thankful to the wonderful people of Thailand who make it possible to create, produce and sell each and every authentic Thai Taste product. To give something back to the country that enables Thai Taste to do so much, each year a percentage of all sales is donated to the Duang Prateep Foundation, a truly worthy cause dedicated to bringing education, hope and enablement to impoverished people in Thailand.
In Thai ‘Duang Prateep’ translates as ‘Flame of Hope,’ a fitting name for a foundation that brings so much hope, happiness, education and optimism to the lives of so many impoverished people and their communities.
Formed in 1978 by an ambitious young Bangkok slum dweller, Prateep Hata who had a passion for teaching and who became affectionately known as the ‘Angel of Slums’, the Duang Prateep Foundation was set-up with the money that Prateep received when she was awarded the prestigious Magsaysay Award for Public Service.
Today the Duang Prateep continues to grow and impact the lives of many and works on a variety of projects year round focusing on education, health, social services, human development and emergencies or natural disasters.
