Kia Transfers Ghana Social Contribution Project to Local Government

Kia announced on the 29th that it has completed the 'Green Light Project' global social contribution activity in Ghana and handed over the self-reliance model to the local government. With this, Ghana became the twelfth base where Kia's Green Light Project has been transferred locally.

The Green Light Project is Kia's flagship global social contribution activity that provides infrastructure and programs to communities in need of support in areas such as economy, education, health, and environment, ultimately helping them achieve self-reliance.

As part of the Green Light Project, Kia has been promoting activities since July 2018 for five years in Panteak in southern Ghana to improve the health of mothers and infants and enhance the public health environment in the region.

Together with the global NGO World Vision, Kia contributed to improving the healthcare environment in Panteak and the region and reducing the incidence rates among mothers and infants through ▲establishing a specialized health center for mothers and infants ▲operating home treatment services ▲conducting health awareness education. After five years of support, Kia held a handover ceremony and transferred full authority of the project to the local government. Kia plans to conduct local monitoring for the next two years to help stabilize the center's operations.

Since starting the Green Light Project in 2012, Kia has carried out social contribution activities targeting 12 bases in 10 countries over the past decade and completed local transfers. The total number of beneficiaries over 10 years at the previous 11 bases reached 925,654. In particular, the professional certification pass rate of vocational training center graduates reached 97.4%, bringing positive changes in the growth and self-reliance capabilities of the beneficiaries.

From the second half of this year, Kia plans to launch three new Green Light Project bases in Africa and Southern Europe to help other communities achieve self-reliance.

A Kia official stated, "Kia will continue its efforts to support the economic and social self-reliance of residents in underdeveloped countries through the Green Light Project."
