Gangbuk-gu, 2020 IT Hope Sharing Initiative 추진

PC Maintenance Used for Administrative Work Distributed Free to Information-Disadvantaged Groups... Applications Accepted from April 1, Welfare Facilities Contact Responsible Department, Individuals Apply via District Website or Dong Community Center Visit

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangbuk-gu (District Mayor Park Gyeom-su) is promoting the ‘IT Hope Sharing Project’ to enhance information accessibility and utilization skills for socially vulnerable groups.

The Hope Sharing Project is a system that refurbishes PCs previously used for administrative tasks by replacing their hard disks and then distributes them free of charge to information-disadvantaged groups who have difficulties owning and using information devices.

Basic livelihood recipients, people with disabilities, single-parent families, multicultural families, national veterans, and social welfare facilities within the district can apply. However, those who have received PCs from Seoul City or Gangbuk-gu within the past two years are excluded from distribution. The district plans to distribute 40 PCs to welfare facilities and 60 PCs to individuals on a first-come, first-served basis.

Applications start from 9 a.m. on April 1. Social welfare facilities should apply through the department in charge of welfare services, and individuals can visit their local community service center in person. Individuals can also apply via the Gangbuk-gu website (http://www.gangbuk.go.kr → Citizen Participation → IT Hope Sharing → Apply for Computer).

The computers have specifications of CPU Intel-core i3 (3.1GHz), 4GB memory, and HDD 500GB or higher. However, monitors are excluded from the devices, while keyboards and mice are provided together. After distribution, the district office’s A/S team will provide free on-site repairs for one year to assist with PC maintenance and management.

Park Gyeom-su, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, stated, “I am pleased to be able to offer some help to those in need of computers through the Hope Sharing Project,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to bridge the information gap among our citizens.”
