SM Entertainment and UNICEF Korea announced that they signed a social contribution agreement in March to empower girls in Indonesia and create greener school environments. Under the agreement, SM Entertainment will install modern gender-separated restrooms at 60 schools in Indonesia by 2028 and run eco-friendly education programs at 45 schools.
This latest agreement is the fourth renewal since the first pact in 2015. Over the past 10 years, the two sides have supported children in Vietnam and The Philippines, and the new agreement expands that work to improving educational environments for children in Indonesia.
