LG Electronics Philippines has rolled out a laundry livelihood project to create jobs and income for persons with disabilities (PWDs), turning a facility in Cubao, Quezon City, into a working commercial laundry hub.
The “Push Laundry” project is a social enterprise built through a partnership with House with No Steps Foundation (HWNSF), ELS, and BigZe Corp. It formalizes earlier efforts to create inclusive employment by setting up a fully operational laundry business run with direct participation from PWD workers.
The site, renovated from an HWNSF building, now serves as a community-based laundry shop designed to generate steady revenue while supporting training and employment programs. The model combines commercial operations with social impact, with earnings funding skills development, job opportunities, and ongoing program costs.
“LG Electronics Philippines is proud to support initiatives that create meaningful livelihood opportunities for the PWD community,” said Nakhyun Seung, managing director of LG Electronics Philippines. “Through our LG Commercial Laundry solutions, we are able to contribute to a business model that promotes inclusivity while ensuring reliable and efficient daily operations.”
Under the setup, HWNSF leads advocacy and PWD support programs, ELS provides business structure and partnership direction, and BigZe Corp. manages daily shop operations and service delivery. LG Electronics Philippines supplies commercial-grade laundry equipment to improve efficiency and reliability.
The initiative is designed to be a scalable model for inclusive business, with partners aiming to replicate the Push Laundry concept in other locations through dealers and sub-dealers.
Proceeds from the laundry operations are earmarked to sustain the foundation’s programs, including employment placement and livelihood training for PWD beneficiaries.
