Thanyarak Foundation

  • History of Thanyarak Foundation

  • The Thanyarak Foundation, registered as number 271 with the Ministry of Finance, was established on November 9, 1994. Founded under the royal benevolence of Her Royal Highness Princess Srinagarindra. The foundation's mission is to empower Thai women in the fight against breast cancer. Her Royal Highness graciously donated THB 12 million from her personal funds as initial capital, named the foundation "Thanyarak," and took it under her royal patronage. The foundation has been continuously guided by the esteemed leadership of Her Royal Highness Princess Srinagarindra (Honorary President Emerita), Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana (Honorary Chairperson and President Emerita), and currently, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn (Honorary President) since 2014.

    The Thanyarak Foundation focuses on breast cancer awareness, diagnosis, and prevention. Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana played a key role in the foundation's establishment, allowing the board of committees to collaborate with the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital in 1994. This relationship led to the founding of the Thanyarak Breast Center at Siriraj Hospital in 1995, and the Faculty has maintained a close partnership over the years.
