‘Good Night Paola’ launches Midea’s global campaign #NoHeatCanBeatYourDreams.

Globally, people encounter different obstacles in pursuing their dreams, including social pressure, financial difficulties, and physical limitations.

In Thailand, approximately three percent of the population are people with disabilities, who have been fighting for equal rights and opportunities to fulfill their dreams.

First launched in Thailand, one of Midea’s key markets in ASEAN, the campaign will soon follow in other countries, including Latin America.
