Promoting Mutual Prosperity
For more than 30 years since its initiation, YOKE has been adhering to the egoistic and altruistic belief of “giving back to society what is taken from it” from its operations. Out of our wish to do good and give back to society, we established the “YOKE Charity Fund” in April 2008. In 2019, as the main focus of the foundation has been gradually adjusted to education public welfare projects, therefore, the name of the foundation was changed to "YOKE Education Foundation" and continued to promote the "Elementary School Sustainable Education Support Project".
Promotion of safety for work at height
We set working at height safety the main theme of social influence promotion. In 2023 we co-organized the tree-climbing experiential course with Tung Xing Elementary School in Taichung. We hired instructors with international professional tree climbing license to introduce the use of SRL, climbing saddle, lanyard, safety helmet, and carabiner to students through this experiential course. With full preparation before climbing, we enabled students to climb trees in the safest environment. As the coach explained the equipment's safety features and the tenacity and strength of trees, he helped the students put on their safety equipment before they tried to reach the top of a tree with his instruction. Apart from focusing on the education for working at height safety, character education was another focus of the tree climbing activity. Students were divided into groups. Instructors guided group members to gear up through mutual support and collaboration. Students also climbed as high as they could through mutual encouragement to push themselves to the limit so as to develop own faith in their unlimited potential.
Visit of children from Namibia
At the peak of the pandemic in 2021, we sponsored Amitofo Care Centre to deliver COVID-19 rapid test kits to Namibia for orphans to get the test kits as quickly as possible so as to maintain the health of all children. In 2023 those children went on a thanksgiving trip top Taiwan and prepared a performance of three songs at YOKE. Apart from introducing our products to them and showing them the importance of using PPE when working at height to inspire their vocational experience, employees also took them to the gym to try out various fitness equipment. Each of them had great fun, and employees were touched through the interaction with those children. Chairman Hung Rong-Teh specifically presented a red envelope to each child as a scholarship. Chairman Hung also wished them to demonstrate their talent on the world stage in the future.
