[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol) announced on the 13th that it will provide 400,000 KRW to households raising children to alleviate the economic burden caused by prolonged COVID-19, such as emergency childcare.

The support targets recipients of child allowance for children under 7 years old (a total of 2,139 people), with a total budget of 855 million KRW, and will be paid in Wando Sarang gift certificates to promote local community consumption activities.

Child guardians must bring their ID and visit the town or township office of their residence to apply, and then receive the gift certificates at a financial institution.

Shin Woo-cheol, Governor of Wando-gun, said, "I hope this will be a small help to families struggling with child-rearing due to the closure of childcare facilities," and added, "I also hope that the use of Wando Sarang gift certificates will help revitalize the depressed local economy."

For inquiries regarding the child allowance gift certificate payment, contact the customized welfare team at the town or township office or the women and family department childcare and child team at Wando-gun Office.
