POSCO-Thainox Foundation
POSCO-Thainox Foundation was established on 30 June 2003. Its establishment is inspired by the realization of serious dangers of HIV/AIDS, which cause working-age people to lose their capabilities and young children be innocent victims of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. The main objectives of the Foundation are therefore to provide assistance and support to those opportunity-deprived people and to relieve the government’s burden on such issues.
