LG, in close collaboration with
Hopewell Integrated School (HIS) and Bigwash, endeavors to empower individuals
with special needs through a sustainable livelihood program.
Dubbed as HopeWash, the program positions
students and graduates of HIS, a
non-stock non-profit organization based in Cavite dedicated to individuals with
special needs, to be employable and lead functional
lives.
To jumpstart the project, LG and
Bigwash worked together to get the shop up and running by taking care of the
construction and the training of the staff, which consists of HIS alumnus. LG
donated 5 sets of commercial washers and dryers, 1 commercial refrigerator, and
1 43” TV set. Unilever also lent a hand by donating laundry detergents specially
formulated for the commercial washers.
Expounding on the company’s role
in the program, LG Managing Director Inkwun Heo states, “We are firm believers
in HIS’s goal of providing these children a future to look forward to. We want
to empower them as much as we are able to. Our intuitive design provides
accessibility through straightforward simplicity.”
Washabilities Laundry Shop is now
open and ready to serve all of your laundry needs at 135 Remulla Compound
Paliparan Road, Molino 4, Bacoor, Cavite.
