Lotte Hi-Mart Delivers Support Gifts to Children Aging Out of Care to Encourage Social Advancement

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Lotte Hi-Mart announced on the 12th that it delivered career encouragement gifts to 39 children from grandparent-headed households whose protection ends as they become adults.

Lotte Hi-Mart gifted tablet PCs worth approximately 18 million KRW or home appliances such as rice cookers, microwaves, and vacuum cleaners that help with independence to children from grandparent-headed households who became adults this year. The funds for the gifts were raised through voluntary donations from employees.

Since 2006, Lotte Hi-Mart has been running the "Happy Three Generations Campaign," supporting children from grandparent-headed households by forming sponsorships. Currently, they support 200 minor children from such households and have assisted a total of 1,488 children so far.

A Lotte Hi-Mart official said, "We hope the gifts prepared today will help those taking their first steps into society to dream bigger and take on new challenges," adding, "We will continue to be a strong support for the children we sponsor."
