KOTRA Employees Raise 10 Million Won in Donations for Flood Recovery Efforts

One-Month In-House Fundraising Event for Flood Recovery Efforts

KOTRA announced on the 29th that it conducted a fundraising campaign targeting its employees for one month starting from the 21st of last month to raise funds for flood recovery.

Led by KOTRA's in-house volunteer club 'Left Hands,' the fundraising campaign saw participation from 484 employees by the final day on the 21st, raising a total of 10 million KRW. This was a result of active participation not only from KOTRA employees in Korea but also from those working around the world, amid unprecedented heavy rains that caused significant damage across the Korean Peninsula.

The funds raised through this campaign will be delivered to flood victims in the form of flood recovery support funds or relief supplies through the National Disaster Relief Association. Additionally, KOTRA has launched support projects such as contributing to the Win-Win Cooperation Fund to aid the recovery of small and medium-sized partner companies in the Chungbuk and Jeonbuk regions that suffered damage to their business sites and factories due to the recent floods.

Kim Yuntae, Vice President of KOTRA and president of Left Hands, said, "I hope that the funds collected by our employees will be delivered to the flood victims and help in some way with the flood damage recovery."
