For 31 years, Mr. Ralph Houtman and Mr. Choengchai Puripanayo have supported the Duang Prateep Foundation by helping to establish the computer systems of the Klong Toey Service Cooperative. Both have visited the cooperative to observe its operations, which have become a vital financial resource, enabling local residents to stand strong in the face of adversity. The cooperative now has over 30 million baht in circulating funds and 1,878 members.
