Threads of Change: The Growing Impact of United Wardrobe

Bby Yoochan Hwang, 13F, Founder of United Wardrobe Project

Thanks to the generosity of Patana families and our wider community of supporters, the United Wardrobe Project, founded in May 2023, has grown into a powerful movement for sustainability. To date, we have donated more than 18,000 pieces of clothing, reducing nearly 260,000 kg of CO₂ emissions and saving 96 million liters of water, an impact valued at over 350,000 USD in social cost savings.

This proves that even something as simple as donating a single T-shirt can add up to extraordinary change when we act together. Below are the latest highlights from our journey. Let’s continue to take action for a more sustainable future!

Recent Highlights:

Welcome Korean International School of Bangkok

We are thrilled to welcome our 7th partner, Korean International School of Bangkok, which has just launched the United Wardrobe Project and held its very first donation event. This milestone is a powerful reminder of how youth-driven initiatives can expand and inspire change. What began as one idea in a single school is now becoming a nationwide movement uniting students across Thailand.

Hua Hin International School’s Second Round Donation

Meanwhile, Hua Hin International School successfully completed its second clothing donation round. Their students have worked tirelessly not only to gather clothes but also to raise awareness of the environmental costs of fast fashion. It is especially encouraging to see the project extend beyond Bangkok into other cities, proving that communities everywhere can come together for sustainability and solidarity.

Our 15th Donation Round

At the same time, our own team has reached the 15th donation round, delivering 2,706 pieces of clothing to the Mirror Foundation. Week after week—during lunch breaks, after school, and on weekends—our volunteers dedicate their time to collecting, sorting, and preparing your donations for those in need. On Saturday, October 4th, our members once again came together to complete the delivery, demonstrating how steady commitment can transform good intentions into lasting impact.

Looking Ahead

The journey of the United Wardrobe Project shows how small acts, multiplied by many, create real change. With every new partner school, every donation, and every volunteer effort, we move closer to a future where sustainability is part of everyday life. We are deeply grateful for the support that has carried us this far and invite everyone to continue joining us in shaping a more sustainable and compassionate world.
