Providing light to Khon Kaen's vulnerable groups.

Fire Prevention Project for Vulnerable Households 

Fires caused by domestic electrical systems are a major factor leading to loss of life and property. 

The majority of these problems stem from old, damaged, or substandard wiring, wires that are improperly sized for usage, overloading of power strips, and electrical protective devices that are inefficient or have deteriorated due to age. 

Khon Kaen Provincial Red Cross Chapter Office, which acts as the regional representative of Thai Red Cross Society, has a core mission to provide relief and aid to distressed citizens in Khon Kaen province, including the poor, the underprivileged, and socially vulnerable groups. 

In line with its humanitarian mission in social welfare, health promotion, and quality of life development, Khon Kaen Provincial Red Cross Chapter has initiated the "Project to Replace Wiring and Internal Connection Equipment to Reduce Fire Problems in Khon Kaen Province for the Fiscal Year B.E. 2569 (2026)." 

The project aims to improve the electrical systems and replace all related equipment according to safety standards. This is intended to sustainably reduce the risk of short circuits and house fires for vulnerable groups and poor households across all 26 districts of Khon Kaen province, covering 3 households per district, for a total of 78 houses. 

Budget 

Cost of wiring and repair equipment for 78 households: 

·         Total: 580,000 Baht (Average of 7,436 Baht per household) 

Expected Benefits 

·         Vulnerable and low-income residents in Khon Kaen province will have their electrical systems improved and equipment replaced to ensure safety. 

·         This will reduce the risk of fires caused by electrical short circuits, resulting in an improved quality of life.
