Gibo, Emergency Support for 'Low-Income Children in Busan Affected by COVID-19'

Support for Disease Prevention Kits Including Masks and Hand Sanitizers, and Food Aid to Prevent Malnutrition

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Korea Technology Finance Corporation (Chairman Jung Yoon-mo, hereinafter referred to as Kibo) announced on the 4th that it donated 4 million won to the Busan Regional Headquarters of the ChildFund Korea to urgently support low-income children due to the spread of community infections of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Busan. This sponsorship fund was raised by adding 1.25 million won collected by the Kibo labor union and 2.75 million won voluntarily contributed by Kibo executives and employees.

The Busan Regional Headquarters of ChildFund Korea plans to use Kibo's sponsorship funds to provide disease prevention kits such as masks and hand sanitizers, as well as food items like instant rice and ramen to low-income children who cannot receive meal services due to the closure of group facilities and suspension of operations at local children's centers. Director Kim Young-chun of Kibo said, "We continue to carry out projects to help neighbors in need in the local community in cooperation with the labor union," adding, "Since the fund was raised through the voluntary participation of employees, it holds special meaning, and we will continue to proactively practice a culture of sharing as a public institution and strive to build a welfare community that jointly addresses local social issues."
