Daewoo E&C Donates and Delivers 313 Solar Lanterns to Africa

Eco-Friendly Energy Sharing 'Light Children' Event 진행

Daewoo E&C employees are assembling and delivering solar lanterns to children in energy-poor countries as part of the 'Lighting Children' campaign and are taking a commemorative photo.

Daewoo E&C announced on the 28th that it conducted the global energy sharing campaign "Lighting Children," in which employees and their children participated together, for ten days starting from the 10th.

"Lighting Children," organized by the international development cooperation NGO Milal Welfare Foundation, is an eco-friendly energy sharing campaign that sends solar lanterns assembled by hand to children in energy-deficient countries.

The solar lanterns can be charged for five hours under bright sunlight and provide light for up to ten hours, allowing children to read books at night. Replacing kerosene lamps with solar lanterns not only helps prevent respiratory diseases in children but also saves about 30% of household fuel expenses, which can be redirected toward purchasing educational supplies for children. Additionally, it is more effective in preventing fires.

The 170 Daewoo E&C employees who participated in this campaign received solar lantern assembly kits and assembled them with their families. The 313 sets of solar lanterns produced, along with messages of hope, will be delivered to Africa through the Milal Welfare Foundation.

Meanwhile, since 2001, Daewoo E&C has been conducting the "Repairing Houses of Hope" campaign, carrying out facility repairs for families struggling with aging housing. Since 2018, the company has expanded its activities in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity Korea and has participated in various social contribution activities, including improving housing environments for descendants of independence activists and supporting housing for Vietnamese residents in Korea.
