LINE MAN Empowers First “Rider Graduate,” Awards THB 1 Million in Scholarships for Third Consecutive Year to Rider-Driver Communities
LINE MAN is driving forward its commitment to its platform partners by awarding 200 educational scholarships totaling THB 1 million to the children of riders and drivers across all services, as well as riders funding their own education. This yearâs initiative expands to university-level funding for riders’ families, while celebrating its first-ever “LINE MAN Graduate,” a rider who successfully completed his bachelor’s degree while working on the platform with support from the program. To foster long-term financial resilience and community well-being, LINE MAN has also teamed up with renowned financial expert “The Money Coach” for tailored financial literacy training, alongside holistic well-being for riders and their families supported by the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth) and Mith Mitree clinic. Empowering the Rider-Driver’s Livelihood Through Four Core Pillars Dr. Werapong Goo, Managing Director of On-Demand Services at LINE MAN Wongnai, stated: “At LINE MAN, we are deeply committed to fostering stability in every aspect of our riders’ and drivers’ lives. Our ecosystem operates under a comprehensive welfare policy built upon four core pillars: Income & Financial Security, Health & Safety, Family Support, and Community Pride & Belonging.“ “Over the past three years, LINE MAN has awarded more than 600 scholarships to rider families nationwide, drawing over 1,500 applicants. Notably, more than 30 recipients are riders who actively balance higher education with gig work on our platform. Their top fields of studyâEngineering, Law, and Business Administrationâclearly demonstrate that education represents a beacon of hope and a long-term investment that requires strategic family financial planning.” “The ‘LINE MAN Dream Fulfillment Project’ directly addresses our community’s feedback, aiming to alleviate the financial burdens on our riders’ families. This year, we distributed 200 scholarships across four categories: Academic Excellence, Outstanding Activities, Inspiring Stories, and Working Students. A standout highlight of this year’s program is our expansion into university-level support. We are immensely proud to honor our first ‘LINE MAN Graduate’âa testament to resilience and an inspiration to anyone striving for a better future. We firmly believe education is the ultimate tool for upward mobility, and LINE MAN stands ready to support our partners at every stage of life to build a sustainable future.” Real Stories of Resilience and Pride Tossawat Kraisomsuk, a LINE MAN rider and recent Bachelorâs Degree graduate in Automotive Engineering from Samut Prakan Technical College, shared his journey: “I started riding for LINE MAN during my vocational studies to help support my family. Juggling work and classes was exhausting, and there were times I doubted I could finish. But I refused to give up on my dream. LINE MAN’s continuous 3-year scholarship provided both crucial financial relief and the motivation to keep going. Standing here today as a graduate is one of the proudest moments of my life. Even as I transition into a full-time corporate career, I plan to continue riding for LINE MAN part-time to earn extra income. This platform gave me an opportunity to earn and helped shape who I am today. I hope my journey inspires other riders chasing their dreams.” At the event, Tossawat was also honored and congratulated by Dr. Maleeya Jotisakulratana, Head of Government Relations at LINE MAN Wongnai. Kumphee Numkanisorn, a LINE MAN rider of five years whose daughter received a scholarship this year, added: “My daughter dreams of becoming a dentist, and I work hard every day to fuel that dream. This scholarship drastically eases our financial load. What moves me most is that my daughter is never ashamed of my job; sheâs incredibly proud of it. That pride keeps me going every single day.” Financial Literacy and Holistic Well-being for Rider-Driver Communities Recognizing that sustainable growth requires financial acumen, the event featured an exclusive masterclass titled “Financial Management for Riders” led by Jakkapong Mesphan, popularly known as ‘The Money Coach.’ The session focused on budgeting, expense management, and building financial safety nets, expanding on a successful educational video series co-developed by LINE MAN and The Money Coach. Furthermore, LINE MAN partnered with the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth) and Mith Mitree clinic to host workshops, reinforcing a comprehensive ecosystem of physical, mental, and financial support for riders and their families.
