Promotion of Women was started in 1999 with a group of 20 women in Phongnakhon and 20 women in Khokai. Each group met for some time and decided to raise duck or chicken when a small fund was made available for them. They also agreed to start with common savings so that when someone would need funding they can use such for this purpose. At present the group still has some small scale livelihood projects like duck/chicken raising, mushroom raising, flower making and others. They have started common savings under the Diocesan Social Action Center (DISAC) of Nakhon Ratchasima. A total of 96 women are members of this group.
