LS ELECTRIC Supports IT Devices for Low-Income Children

Voluntary Fundraising by Employees to Support Low-Income Families Struggling with Online Classes

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] LS ELECTRIC employees have stepped up to help low-income children struggling with learning due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

LS ELECTRIC announced that its employees donated learning IT devices to low-income and information-disadvantaged students in collaboration with Good Neighbors, using funds of approximately 42 million KRW raised through voluntary fundraising activities.

LS ELECTRIC explained that employees conducted fundraising activities to support low-income elementary, middle, and high school students who faced difficulties participating in online classes due to not owning PCs or having outdated devices, following the shift to online school openings amid the COVID-19 spread.

An LS ELECTRIC official said, “We hope that the Hope PCs, prepared by gathering the small kindness of our employees, will be a great help to children left in the blind spots of remote learning. We will continue to make efforts to prevent the spread and damage of COVID-19 and maintain ongoing support activities to assist those in difficult circumstances.”

LS ELECTRIC carries out various social contribution activities for children in local communities. Since last year, LS ELECTRIC has been promoting the ‘Let’s Start Together with LSIS’ campaign (LSIS being the former English name of LS ELECTRIC) to support children.

This campaign is a program designed to support local children and students so that they can move forward vigorously toward the future with healthy bodies and minds in a safe environment, in line with LS Group’s social contribution philosophy of being a “reliable partner supporting the dreams of future generations.”

As part of the campaign, LS ELECTRIC is also conducting the ‘LS Sanjeon (LS ELECTRIC’s Korean name) Dream Learning Kit Support’ project, which donates new semester backpacks and school supplies to low-income elementary school students in the Anyang area.
