[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Winia Daewoo announced on the 8th that it has strengthened its social contribution activities by donating Winia brand home appliances to medical staff, firefighters, and low-income groups in Latin America, where the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is ongoing.

Winia Daewoo explained that it participated in the donation to empathize with the severe damage, such as the cumulative death toll in Latin America exceeding 250,000 due to COVID-19, and to support a swift recovery.

First, refrigerators were delivered to the designated emergency room medical staff treating COVID-19 patients in Chile. To maintain hygiene for firefighters stationed at the Santiago Fire Station in Chile for five months due to strengthened quarantine measures, fully automatic washing machines were also provided.

Additionally, refrigerators, 4,000 masks, and food supplies were delivered to low-income groups suffering from COVID-19 in Peru. Winia Daewoo’s social contribution activities were also featured on the Peruvian public broadcasting program ‘Mujeres al Mando (Influential Women).’

Meanwhile, in June, Winia Daewoo donated $100,000 (approximately 120 million KRW) to the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) in hopes of overcoming COVID-19. IMSS is a key health institution and representative medical organization in Mexico, operating 14,398 clinics and 752 hospitals nationwide with a total of 114,500 medical staff. In appreciation of the donation, IMSS provided brand advertisements on screens installed at local bus stops.

Park Beom-seok, head of Winia Daewoo’s Peru branch, said, “Latin American countries are suffering more severely due to not only the spread of COVID-19 but also poor treatment environments. We made this hopeful donation with the wish that the current pandemic situation will end soon.”
