ACCRA,
Ghana, Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On
December 19, the "Light Up Africa"
Children's Solar Lamp Project, jointly initiated by KuCoin,
Global CSR, and the Smiling Simon Greenbuild Foundation, held its
donation ceremony in Ghana. The
project aims to provide light for schoolchildren in underdeveloped
areas of Africa, promoting
education equality and improving their living conditions.
This charitable initiative originated at the 28th United Nations
Climate Change Conference (COP28) in
2023, where KuCoin made a firm commitment to support social welfare
initiatives during the "KuCoin Green Future Dinner", witnessed by
over 200 guests from various countries. In 2024, KuCoin has
continued to fulfill its social responsibilities by launching a
series of impactful public welfare projects, with the "Light Up
Africa" Children's Solar Lamp Project standing out as a prime
example.
Through the donation of solar reading lamps, the project
provides opportunities for children in rural African areas without
electricity to study at night, illuminating their path to
knowledge. In February 2024, the
first batch of 2,500 solar lamps was delivered to 25 schools in
Nigeria. By October 2024, an additional 7,200 solar lamps
were distributed to various communities in Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Ghana, benefiting even more children.
At the donation ceremony in Ghana, Dr. Anita Nana
Okuribido from the Smiling Simon Green Building Foundation
expressed sincere gratitude to KuCoin. She highlighted that local
children previously relied on candles or dim moonlight for their
evening studies. The solar lamps donated by KuCoin have
significantly improved their learning conditions. One solar lamp
impacts at least five students, meaning this project directly
benefits 36,000 children, helping them step out of darkness and
embrace the light of knowledge.
Zhao Jing, Chairman of Global
CSR, emphasized that this project has ignited African children's
enthusiasm for learning, boosting their confidence and instilling
hope for a brighter future. This effort is not merely a material
donation but also a profound source of encouragement.
As a global leader in the digital economy, KuCoin remains
committed to sustainable development goals, focusing on areas such
as climate change, health, and education, and has achieved
significant positive social impact. KuCoin's Chief Sustainability
Officer (CSO), Nancy Cheung, stated
that the "Light Up Africa" project is a key step in KuCoin's
journey to advance the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development
Goals. KuCoin will continue to support children's education and
technological innovation, driving society toward a better
future.
