Technology is playing an important role in the handling of the current situation caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus, and VCF official provider LG Electronics España are carrying out various solidarity initiatives to help the most vulnerable sectors of society, donating laptops, televisions and other equipment.
President and CEO of LG Ibérica, Jaime de Jaraiz, says that "Each of us offer, within our means, our own grain of salt. At LG, the best thing that we can offer is our technology for unity at this difficult time.
Valencia CF consider the initiatives carried out by LG Electronics- the leading global company in consumer electronics, mobile phones and domestic technology- to share the values of the club at this difficult time. The projects are the following:
Donation of laptops for online support of families at risk of social exclusion
LG España have participated in Save The Children's “A Tu Lado” programme, donating laptop computers to vulnerable families in a critical situation.
Support for the #SaldremosJuntos campaign for freelancers and small businesses
This social movement aims to provide resources to those freelancers and small businesses whose income has been seriously affected by COVID-19. LG Electronics have donated televisions and helped smaller Spanish businesses with means to reactivate their income.
Smartphones for connecting with family members
LG Electronics have donated smartphones so that people in hospital, isolated from their family, can keep in touch with them through calls or videoconferences.
LG televisions for the elderly
In residences for the elderly, many are obliged to stay in their rooms in order to avoid the risk of contagion in common areas. LG Electronics have donated televisions for their entertainment.
