Representatives of Good Neighbors Laos and the Promotion Family Health Association meet in Vientiane on Tuesday.

KB Capital provides electric car for Promotion Family Health Association
 
Employees of the Promotion Family Health Association (PFHA) will be able to carry out their work more easily thanks to the donation of an electric car provided by KB Capital Co., Ltd. of the Republic of Korea through Good Neighbors Laos.
The vehicle was handed over to the Association in Vientiane on November 15.
The event was attended by the President of PFHA, Dr Chansy Phimphachan; Vice President of PFHA, Dr Konesanouk Singphuangphet; President of KB Capital, Mr Soo-Nam Hwang; Director of KB KOLAO Leasing, Mr Yi Si-Kyung; Country Director of Good Neighbors Laos, Mr Yongki Choi, and associated staff.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Dr Chansy expressed his gratitude to KB KOLAO Leasing and Good Neighbors Laos for providing the vehicle.
“We are a Non-Profit Association or local Non-Government Organisation. As a leading family health association, we strive to provide all people with innovative and up-to-date reproductive health information and quality services together with our partners across the country.”
“This car will be beneficial for our work, such as travelling to meet with our development partners, attending training sessions and meetings, and other activities,” he said.
Mr Yongki Choi said “I would like to acknowledge the support of KB Capital and KB KOLAO Leasing for their support to society this year and in previous years.”
Last year, the company supported activities in response to Covid-19 and this year is committed to countering climate change.
KB Capital’s strategy to counter climate change is being implemented through its “Positive Way to Net-Zero” campaign, which supports the Lao government’s goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by promoting the use of electric vehicles.
Good Neighbors and PFHA are partnering to promote the use of electric vehicles in Laos. Through cooperation in the Net-Zero S.T.A.R. campaign, KB Capital is happy to play a small part in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Laos.
The company hopes that this will result in the use of more electric vehicles and KB Capital will further cooperate with other civil society organisations to help reduce harmful gas emissions.
The Promotion Family Health Association is a non-profit association that was established in 2012. Its roots can be traced to the safe motherhood project jointly implemented by IPPF and UNFPA in the northern province of Oudomxay.
The association aims to create a healthy and happy society and contribute to efforts to raise Laos out of least developed country status.
KB KOLAO Leasing and Good Neighbors Laos have been providing grant and equipment support to Laos.
Last year, KB KOLAO Leasing provided medical supplies for the Covid-19 response in Pakxe city, Champassak province.
The company provided funds for the project, which will be administered by Good Neighbors Laos with regard to various activities relating to the Covid response.
The KB Financial Group has many affiliates including banks, securities, insurance, and capital.
KB KOLAO Leasing operates as Laos Corporation Co., Ltd. of the No. 1 KB Financial Group in South Korea.
