Jarudech Pechpoom (Ek) is a student from an ethnic group who benefited from Kwah Dao’s scholarship program during his third and final years of university. He graduated with a B.A. in Law from Ramkhamhaeng University in 2021 and joined Kwah Dao in January 2022 as Executive Director and Legal Advisor. Deeply committed to the organization’s mission, Ek takes his role seriously and is determined to ensure that Kwah Dao continues supporting its vulnerable target groups for as long as possible.

In late June 2023, Ek officially completed his lawyer training and internship and became a licensed attorney. Since then, he has worked to expand Kwah Dao’s impact by providing legal awareness and assistance to an additional target group: migrant families. These legal awareness activities cover a wide range of essential topics, including human rights law, registration and nationality laws, labor law, family law, juvenile law, tort law, criminal law, and more.
