Gimhae City Distributes 'Love PCs' to Bridge the Information Gap for Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City in Gyeongnam announced on the 31st that it will implement the ‘Love PC Distribution Project,’ which refurbishes and distributes used PCs to bridge the information gap among vulnerable groups in the area.

The PC distribution project provides used PCs within the supply volume to vulnerable households that have difficulty purchasing PCs for internet use at home, causing challenges in children's education and daily life. This year, about 200 units are planned to be distributed.

Applications can be submitted by visiting the administrative welfare centers in the applicant’s town, township, or neighborhood. The application period is from April to June.

The eligible recipients include basic livelihood security recipients, lower-income groups, persons with disabilities, non-profit public interest organizations, national veterans (disability grade), elderly households (65 years and older), multicultural families, and North Korean defectors. Households that have received a Love PC distribution within the past two years are excluded.

For further inquiries, contact the Administrative Information Team of the Information and Communication Department.

A city official stated, “With the acceleration of digitalization, non-users of digital technology may face exclusion not only from daily conveniences but also from non-face-to-face education and economic activities,” adding, “We will do our best to support informatization so that more citizens are not left out of the information society.”
