This project, first launched last year, will be conducted again this year in collaboration with the Beautiful Foundation under the name "2021 Communication Fee Support Project for Youth Scheduled to Leave Childcare Facilities."
"Children aging out of protective care" refers to youths who have lived in child care facilities or foster homes and must become independent upon turning 18, as stipulated by the Child Welfare Act.
In November last year, LG HelloVision formed a partnership with the Beautiful Foundation and began supporting Hello Mobile communication fees for children aging out of protective care and youth scheduled to leave childcare facilities. The supported plan is Hello Mobile's 'The Good Data USIM 11GB,' which offers unlimited data, voice, and text usage. Even after the support period ends, users can freely use communication services at about half the cost of regular carrier fees.
In connection with Hello Mobile, a "Children Aging Out of Protective Care Awareness Improvement Campaign" will also be conducted. Starting this month, new subscribers to the USIM product will receive message cards personally created by campaigner Heo Jin-i of "Eighteen Adults." LG HelloVision explained that through this, they expect to raise awareness about children aging out of protective care and provide a good opportunity for customers to support them together.
