You can participate in charity simply by using Hanacell

Are you familiar with the African country of Malawi?
In 2017, its nominal GDP per capita was among the third worst in the world, making it an extremely poor country.
Hanacell's operating company has been conducting charity work in Malawi, establishing vocational training centers and daycare centers to help people live independent lives
Currently, we are particularly focused on providing school lunches. In Malawi, where the primary school graduation rate is only 35%, providing school lunches not only satisfies the hunger of children but also provides them with an opportunity to attend school and receive an education
The majority of Hanacell's profits are used for these charitable activities
Actually, every single customer who uses Hanacell is a supporter of charity activities!
In order to further expand our efforts to eliminate poverty from around the world, we will continue to strive to provide services that satisfy everyone
Hanacell's social contribution activities are described on this page
