of Bangkok, co-founder of , gifts a considerable amount of his personal wealth and time to those less fortunate. Since Panthera Group Thailand’s inception some 17 years ago, Paul Hayward has been committed to donating a percentage of his net income to the local community and those in need across Asia.
Paul Hayward contributes to a variety of charities, though most of his philanthropic efforts seem to be focused on Thailand’s impoverished, unwanted, abandoned and neglected children. Recently, Paul Hayward again put his money where his mouth is, in support of the . An event which raised just under 600,000 Baht for charities in Thailand focused on disadvantaged youngsters. The funds raised during the Rotary Clubs event will aid a clean drinking water systems project and library kits for poverty stricken rural schools.
Paul Hayward of Bangkok, co-founder of Panthera Group Thailand said, “Giving is not something I have to do, it’s something I want to do. I know not everyone can afford to give to charity, but you don’t have to be rich to care about humanity. You don’t have to be rich to give your time and make someone smile. There’s no better feeling, giving adds meaning to my life, and whatever good I’m doing seems to come back to me tenfold. The realisation that even the smallest of donations can make a substantive difference to the lives of youths that have been given up or simply abandoned is very rewarding. I’m committed to educating and supporting children, because though it may sound cliché children really are the future.”
Paul Hayward may be one of the busiest entrepreneurs in Bangkok. His business Panthera Group Thailand now has assets valued at 160 Million USD, but his donations are not part of his company’s CSR program. Paul Hayward is socially conscious and sees it as his duty to help others, a sentiment very much rooted in his own personal values and principles.
