[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] The Korea Technology and Information Promotion Agency for SMEs (TIPA) announced on the 14th that it visited the National Human Resources Development Institute in Deoksan-eup, Jincheon-gun, Chungbuk on the 10th and donated 2,600 Hope Masks to Afghan Special Contributors.

When the self-quarantine of 383 Afghan Special Contributors housed at the Jincheon National Human Resources Development Institute was lifted in October, TIPA, considering that the majority of the Special Contributors and Jincheon residents are children and elderly, who are vulnerable groups in quarantine, delivered a total of 2,600 KF94 health masks, including 1,600 for children and 1,000 for adults.

Lee Jae-hong, President of TIPA, said, "We hope to support the hopeful settlement of the Special Contributors in the local community and at the same time contribute a little to enhancing quarantine in the community."

Meanwhile, TIPA, a specialized agency supporting technology innovation (R&D) for SMEs, purchased the donated items from small and medium-sized enterprises listed on the Win-Win Growth Mall, a platform for cooperation between large and small businesses, taking the lead in expanding sales channels for local SMEs and practicing community sharing activities.
