In a remarkable act of community engagement and support, LG Electronics, in partnership with Al-Hassan Ghazi Ibrahim Shaker Company (Shaker) in Saudi Arabia, has announced a generous donation of air-conditioning units to two key mosques in the region, enhancing the comfort and experience of the worshippers. This initiative is part of LG and Shaker’s ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility and its efforts to foster a positive impact within local communities.
Beneficiaries and Impact
This contribution is particularly timely as it coincides with the upcoming hot summer months, ensuring that worshippers can perform their prayers in a more comfortable and conducive environment.
“LG and Shaker are committed to improving the everyday lives of communities where we operate, and we believe that helping to enhance mosques, which are basically cultural and spiritual centers, is a key part of that commitment,” stated Mr. Yongsik Chang, LG’s Air Solution Business Leader of Middle East. “By providing state-of-the-art LG air-conditioning units, we hope to offer a sanctuary of comfort to the faithful who visit these mosques.”
“At Shaker, we are dedicated to making a positive impact in the communities we serve,” added Mr. Mohammed Ibrahim Abunayyan, CEO of Shaker. “Through our partnership with LG, we are proud to support the enhancement of these mosques, ensuring that worshippers can find solace and comfort during their prayers. This initiative reflects our commitment to giving back and fostering a sense of unity within the Kingdom.”
Partnership and Collaboration
The donation is being made in partnership with Ma’athn, the Mosque Care & Service Association, dedicated to the upkeep and improvement of mosque facilities nationwide. Ma’athn is registered with the National Center for the Development of the Non-Profit Sector and supervised by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs. Their mission includes comprehensive services and quality maintenance, addressing needs for construction, renovation, technology, and essential items like carpets and air conditioning. Ma’athn’s services cover cleaning, maintenance, furnishing, construction, securing prayer areas, technology provision, and knowledge dissemination.
This partnership underscores a shared vision for a stronger, more cohesive community bound by support and mutual respect.
Community Engagement and Outreach
In addition to the physical donation, LG and Shaker plans to release a special video capturing the essence of this initiative. The video will feature insights from community leaders and highlight the impact of the donation on the daily lives of the mosque attendees. This initiative not only reflects LG and Shaker’s dedication to technological innovation but also its profound respect for cultural heritage and community values.
Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility
LG Electronics and Shaker continues to lead by example, reminding us of the powerful role corporations can play in the betterment of society. Through their commitment to improving community spaces and fostering cultural respect, LG, in partnership with Shaker, reinforces its dedication to making a positive and lasting impact.
