SKT Provides Galaxy Books and Smartphones to ICT-Disadvantaged Children

[Asia Economy Reporter Joeslgina] SK Telecom announced on the 13th that it will start a donation project to support ICT-disadvantaged children with Samsung Electronics' laptops, tablets, smartphones, and more, in collaboration with Save the Children.

This initiative aims to help ICT-disadvantaged children who are struggling to participate in remote classes due to the shift to untact learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. SK Telecom will provide laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other devices necessary for remote classes to children using child protection agencies and foster care support centers under Save the Children.

Moon Gap-in, head of SK Telecom's Smart Device Group, said, "We hope this smart device donation project will protect the learning rights of ICT-disadvantaged children in an era where untact classes are the norm," adding, "We will continue to discover and implement ESG projects that convert corporate profits into social value."

This donation project is funded by a portion of the sales revenue from the ‘Galaxy Quantum2,’ launched by SK Telecom in April. Previously, SK Telecom announced plans to accumulate 1,000 KRW per Galaxy Quantum2 device sold to purchase laptops and tablet PCs, which will be donated to educationally marginalized groups.
