Phuket officials and community representatives gathered at Wichit Municipality for a ‘Family Vaccine’ project event aimed at strengthening family institutions and expanding cooperation on social welfare and family support.
The event was organised by the Phuket Provincial Social Development and Human Security Office in cooperation with Wichit Municipality under the ‘Family Vaccine’ project for the 2026 fiscal year.

Participants included representatives from government agencies, the private sector, local administrative organisations, women’s and family networks, and volunteers.
Officials said the event was intended to promote stronger family institutions and encourage cooperation among agencies and community groups to improve quality of life across Phuket.
During the ceremony, plaques, certificates and bouquets were presented to families, individuals and organisations recognised for outstanding work in family development and social welfare.
The programme also included discussions on the current situation facing women and families in Phuket, along with five group workshops on family relationships, domestic violence prevention, strengthening support networks, and promoting women’s rights and equality.
Speaking at the event, Mr Kitti said strong family institutions remain the foundation of a stable society. He said warmth, understanding and mutual support within families help communities cope with social change and emerging problems, and thanked those involved in advancing women’s welfare, family support and social development initiatives in Phuket.
