As a prominent health science institution, the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Burapha University deeply recognizes its social responsibility and the importance of applying pharmaceutical expertise to benefit the wider community. To this end, the “Sharing Happiness with an Orphanage 2026” project was initiated to deliver essential healthcare supplies to children in need. This project also serves to forge strong partnerships between the university and public service organizations, aiming to elevate the quality of life for vulnerable children and youth. Beyond promoting children’s health and hygiene, this initiative embodies the university’s mission to create shared value within society. It fosters a culture of compassion, public spirit, and sustainable community development, directly aligning with the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
