Hope for Children

Global Theme: Innovation to Support the Development of People
While our products make life easier and more enjoyable, our technology can also provide solutions to social and environmen-tal problems. The innovation and expertise that makes Samsung a leader in the electronics industry can also improve the quality of life for people around the world. Today all Samsung subsidiaries participate in programs guided by our social contribution theme: innovation to support the development of people

Samsung Hope for Children Program
Samsung launched Hope for Children globally to bring attention to the worldwide need for childhood education and healthcare. The program advocates on the behalf of children by providing our products, knowledge and employee volunteer service—and our success will be measured by the number of lives we touch.

Focus on Children's Education and Health
Samsung Hope for Children focuses on the most disadvantaged and vulnerable children in our com munities. A widening educational gap and health issues put these children at a disadvantage compared to their peers. Our expertise, technology and resources can help ensure that these children—and children everywhere— have access to educational opportunities and receive necessary healthcare.   

Integrating Our Products and Technology
Samsung Hope for Children is unique among social contribution programs in how it leverages our leader-ship in technology and innovation. The program gives children and other beneficiaries
—such as teachers, doctors and hospital staff—the chance to learn, use or receive treatment with at least one Samsung product.

Expanding to 55 Countries by 2013
Samsung Electronics will expand Samsung Hope for Children to 55 countries by 2013, including India, Kenya, Iran, Germany and Russia. Each program will uniquely address the needs of individual communities while emphasizing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education and IT technical training.
