Gibo, Emergency Support for 'COVID-19 Vulnerable Elderly in Busan Area'

Providing Emergency Relief Supplies Such as Masks and Hand Sanitizers and Donating Blood Donation Certificates

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Korea Technology Finance Corporation (Chairman Jung Yoon-mo, hereinafter referred to as Kibo) announced on the 11th that it donated 10 million won and 300 blood donation certificates to the Busan branch of the Korean Red Cross to support vulnerable elderly people facing crises due to exposure to infectious diseases amid the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

This sponsorship was made by combining the 10 million won in donations voluntarily contributed by Kibo employees and executives with the blood donation certificates collected through the in-house Love Blood Donation Campaign. The Busan branch of the Korean Red Cross plans to use Kibo's donation to provide disease prevention kits such as masks and hand sanitizers, as well as food supplies like instant rice and ramen to prevent malnutrition among vulnerable elderly people.

To help alleviate the blood supply shortage caused by the COVID-19 aftermath, Kibo conducted a group blood donation at its Busan headquarters on the 19th of last month. Employees who could not participate in the group donation visited nearby blood donation centers to donate blood and pledged their blood donation certificates. Attending the donation ceremony, Kibo Director Kim Young-chun said, "I feel rewarded to participate in donating blood donation certificates at a time when blood supply is desperately needed," and added, "We will continue to share warm love and contribute to the local community."
