Mitsubishi Motors Thailand Marks Sixth Year
of ‘Disability Employment Project’

Bangkok – January 14, 2025: Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand) Co., Ltd. recently marked the sixth consecutive year of its ‘Disability Employment Project,’ an initiative developed to provide job opportunities for persons with disabilities, aiming to ensure stable income and improve their quality of life. It aligns with the company’s social responsibility vision, ‘To Contribute and Grow with Thai Society.’ The project was launched in 2018, and to date, it has supported a total of 477 individuals with disabilities.

This year, the project expanded its reach by supporting another 57 persons with disabilities, offering them the opportunity for fulfilling careers. Out of the total, 48 individuals were employed by Mitsubishi Motors Thailand, while nine were employed at MMTh Engine. Additionally, this initiative plays a crucial role in assisting persons with disabilities to secure suitable positions within various government organizations nationwide. The project has positively impacted multiple regions including Phitsanulok, Ubon Ratchathani, Songkhla, and Chonburi, benefiting local government agencies, public health institutions, educational institutions, and associations.

The success of the project has been made possible through strong collaborations between Mitsubishi Motors Thailand, the Provincial Employment Office, and the Social Innovation Foundation. The partnership has enabled the company to offer meaningful and sustainable career opportunities to persons with disabilities. By providing these individuals with the chance to work in stable and supportive environments, the project has helped them lead independent lives, gain financial security, and contribute to society in meaningful ways. Mitsubishi Motors Thailand remains committed to this cause by continuing to break down barriers and create inclusive opportunities for all members of the community.

Mr. Pita Devobat, a 24-year-old with mobility disabilities, shared, “I am truly thankful to Mitsubishi Motors Thailand for giving me this opportunity. My job allows me to support my family and cover my medical expenses. It is a wonderful chance to demonstrate that people with disabilities can contribute to society just as much as anyone else. I encourage others with disabilities to embrace life and pursue their dreams to the fullest.”

Ms. Chantanee Kaewkrasae, a 47-year-old who also has mobility issues, commented, “After my accident, I thought my life had come to an end, but this project gave me a chance to start over. I am proud to have a stable job that allows me to support my family, and I am truly delighted to work with Mitsubishi Motors Thailand. I want to show that we all have worth, and disability should never be seen as a barrier to living a fulfilling life.”
