[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] KOTRA held an event on the 23rd to produce and sponsor food kits for vulnerable elderly people in a non-face-to-face format, the organization announced on the 25th. KOTRA, together with Korea Help Age, produced food kits for elderly people at risk of food insecurity and delivered them along with greeting cards.

Since 2004, KOTRA has conducted social contribution activities for vulnerable groups in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas, led by the in-house volunteer club Left Hands, with all employees participating. This year, following the COVID-19 pandemic, KOTRA donated masks and hand sanitizers to marginalized groups in Dalseo-gu, Daegu, and also donated quarantine supplies received from a Chinese local government to domestic legally recognized donation organizations.

Kwon Pyung-oh, President of KOTRA, stated, “We will actively support small and medium-sized enterprises to overcome the COVID-19 crisis while expanding non-face-to-face social contribution activities for marginalized groups in our society.”
