Coupang's Sharing Project Supporting Education for Children in Turkey

Additional Donation Matching, Tablet PC Support

Coupang announced on the 20th that it will carry out a sharing project to help children in Turkey who lost their homes due to a large-scale earthquake continue their education.

By purchasing donated items through the Turkey disaster area school supplies campaign and entering the warehouse address designated by the Turkish Embassy in the delivery address field, the items will be delivered to the warehouse via Rocket Delivery. School supplies such as backpacks, stationery sets, sketchbooks, and crayons sent to the warehouse will be forwarded to the field in Turkey through the embassy and distributed to students in need. Customers who participate in the donation can receive a donation receipt through the Korean Red Cross website. Coupang will match the donation amount from customers with additional funds to sponsor tablet PCs that can be used for online learning.

Murat Tamer, the Turkish Ambassador to Korea, said, “Children in Turkey who lost their parents due to the strong earthquake are at risk of living with lifelong trauma. I hope that Coupang’s donation campaign will bring even a small smile to the children’s faces.”

A Coupang official stated, “We will convey the warm hearts of customers who hope that children in Turkey who lost their homes regain stability as soon as possible. We will continue to do our best to extend a helping hand to those in need.”
