Electronic learning specialist teams with charity on various events across multiple countries to support vulnerable children in need.
VTech has collaborated with Save the Children to organise various events across multiple countries to support vulnerable children in need.
During the period 1 December 2020 to 30 November 2021, the electronic learning company has pledged that for every baby monitor and toy sold through its online shops in Canada and Hong Kong, plus every baby monitor sold through its online shop in the US, $1 will be donated by VTech to Save the Children.
A worldwide toy donation programme has also been organised, with over 4,400 electronic learning toys donated by VTech in the US, Canada, UK, Netherlands, Spain, Australia and Hong Kong.
Toys donated included products such as Helping Heroes Fire Station, Myla the Magical Unicorn and Go Go Smart Wheels Ultimate Corkscrew Tower.
On top of this, VTech employees have also joined the ‘Letter Writing to Children’ and ‘Save the Plate’ events organised by Save the Children. Participating employees across the world have written letters with words of hope and encouragement to children in need of support, showing heartfelt care and love during this challenging period. Every dollar donated by VTech employees is matched by an equivalent donation on the part of the company.
“With schools closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has severely disrupted the education and social life of children, especially for those living in under-resourced communities,” commented Dr Allan Wong, chairman and group ceo of VTech Holdings. “Our collaboration with Save the Children will not only enable children to continue to learn through play, but also let them know that we are thinking of and caring for them.”
