Ma:D becomes a project co-coordinator, laying the foundations for the BC4C alumni community
In B.E. 2558, Ma:D took on the role of project co-coordinator alongside ChangeFusion and became a key driving force in bringing alumni together as a community.
Translated from Thai · reviewed by the CF team
As the number of BC4C alumni gradually grew year by year, the team observed that the main connection Champions gained from the programme was not just funding or knowledge, but the chance to meet other social enterprises on the same journey. In B.E. 2558, Ma:D, which had itself previously supported social enterprises, officially took on the role of BC4C project co-coordinator alongside ChangeFusion. It became a key driving force in helping the once loosely connected alumni network develop into a social enterprise community where members regularly exchanged ideas and supported one another.
"The community and network are the most important things we gained from taking part in the BC4C programme. This support network is very extensive, and social enterprises in this community continue to help one another to this day." — Reflections from early BC4C alumni
The alumni community later began the process of registering as an official social enterprise association, to establish a clearer status for working with the public and private sectors in the future.
