This activity used donations raised through LG Electronics' 'LG Com Home Challenge' campaign conducted last year targeting global customers. Customers participated in the donation campaign by sharing videos on social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook under the theme 'Why my home is special to me.' LG Electronics made donations to Habitat jointly with the customers who participated in the campaign.

LG Electronics is building a new library and improving sanitary facilities such as water supply and restrooms to help about 200 students attending the Machakos school for the hearing impaired grow up in a better educational environment. Additionally, refrigerators, washing machines, and dryers were provided to make students' lives more convenient.

Yoon Dae-sik, Executive Vice President of External Cooperation at LG Electronics, said, "This social contribution activity was prepared so that children in Kenya can enjoy the benefits of education in a more pleasant and safe environment."
