[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Saeng-hye] Kyochon F&B announced on the 19th that it has signed a social contribution sponsorship agreement with the international relief and development NGO Good Neighbors to support the healing and recovery of children who have suffered abuse.

The signing ceremony, held on the afternoon of the 18th at the Good Neighbors headquarters in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, was attended by about 10 officials including So Jin-se, Chairman of Kyochon F&B, and Yang Jin-ok, Chairwoman of Good Neighbors. Through this sponsorship agreement, the two organizations will carry out various social contribution activities such as psychological treatment support for abused children, a nationwide campaign to prevent child abuse, and the Happy Sharing Chicken Day. Additionally, Kyochon plans to provide 250 million KRW in support by December through this sponsorship project.

This sponsorship agreement was arranged as part of Kyochon’s representative social contribution project, “Haengbokchaeum” (Happiness Filling), which began in 2020. The Haengbokchaeum project supports the happy lives and proper growth of children. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), South Korea ranks lowest among OECD countries in children’s life satisfaction. Starting with this sponsorship agreement, Kyochon intends to continue various social contribution activities aimed at children’s happiness.

Chairman So Jin-se said, “I am pleased to participate in a project that can give courage and hope to children suffering in difficult circumstances,” and added, “We will continue to provide practical support for the happiness and proper growth of children, who are the future leaders.”

Chairwoman Yang Jin-ok stated, “Children exposed to abusive situations are placed in psychologically and emotionally unstable conditions, so continuous treatment and attention are necessary,” and added, “As the project name Haengbokchaeum suggests, we hope this initiative will help children grow up healthy and happy. Good Neighbors will continue to carry out projects that support the healthy growth of children suffering from abuse and neglect.”
